Ham Blog Wk 7

Lesson plans are a part of teaching and should be taken seriously for the fact that this is the way your students will be learning your material. Understanding that a certain theme may be a very affective way for students to learn, this should taken into consideration for the fact that students do like to be entertained while learning. Writing lesson plans are just like making a blue print for construction, it has to be well thought out and detailed enough to a certain satisfaction of learning. If I were to teach small children I would a great thematic scheme like “Hamilton’s Hogs” which the theme would be like a barn yard with hay and farm animals. This thematic scheme/ lesson plan would be to teach the kids about farm life and what goes on within a farm of each animal. A type of lesson plan like this would also set up the perfect field trip I’m pretty sure every child dreams of; which would be trip to an actual farm so students can get actual hands on experience. That sounds like a well executed lesson plan for a pre-k through 6th grade class, because children really do love interacting hands on or face to face. Therefore remember a lesson plan has to be well executed in order to get that successful feed back in class that you hoping to gain from each and every student. Now here is a link on how to write and what you should include in your actual lesson plan for it to be successful. http://tinyurl.com/6v4sn4w

  1. Very insightful...I agree because I have had to write many lesson plans this semester and I had to do a group thematic unit which was very fun yet a little stressful, but in the end we were successful. Lesson Plans and Thematic Units do have to be detailed because there is a lot that we have to teach our students and make sure that they are getting enough information to take them to the next level. I totally agree with your blog post.

  3. Lesson plans really do help you stay organized with your lessons. At first I didn't like them but then I realized the purpose was to not only to help the students but also you as a teacher. Awww that's a cute idea for your students. That is very creative. Makes me so excited to be a elementary teacher.

  4. And the math lessons can all involve animals or building new structures on the farm yard (think of all the great word problems)...science can be about mammals and even the process of composting...write a story about a pig who wants to play with the sheep...
