Planning

Here we are discussing planning both of individual lessons and a sequence of lessons. For some additional background to the topic of planning, take a look at pages 2-13 in  Action Plans for Teachers by Robertson and Acklam.

Use these questions to guide your review of Unit 20.

    1. What three things must we think about when planning a lesson?

    2. What approaches can be used to introduce new grammatical structures?

    3. What are the likely stages of a skills-based lesson focusing on:
        (a) receptive skills?
        (b) productive skills?

   4. What can help you identify possible procedures?

   5.  What else must we also think about/

   6. What is a sequence of lessons?

   7. What are the three examples of possible sequences given in the course book?

   8. How can the sequence of lessons help teachers?

   9. Is it enough to have clear aims within each lesson only? Why/why not?

  10. What are the characteristics of a good scheme of work?

  11. What aer the characteristics of a good lesson plan?

Consider these questions carefully and in class we will do a practice activity to check your grasp of these concepts.
