Questions

a. How important do you think a lesson plan is to a successful lesson? What features do you

think a lesson plan should include?

A Lesson plan it is very important because give to the teacher the structure of the class, help to

organize the criteria, strategies, the time what is going to use and the goals that want to achieve

with the students. When you have a very organize and structure lesson the thing in the classroom

goes well and you can previews some situations and find the better ways to give a good learning

process.

The Lesson plan should include resources, strategies to use in class, clear achievements, the time

of the lesson, the three steps: warm up, activities to carry on the topic and the assessment part.

b. Do you think it is a good idea to strictly follow a lesson plan? Why?

No, the lesson plan helps a teacher to organize the topics and class, but according of what you

see in your classroom, the pre-knowledge you know what to teach and in what way according to

the needs of the students. The ideal would be to follow the lesson plan, but it is a bit complicated,

since situations may arise in the classroom that force us to modify our plan.

c. Some people think that lesson plans severely restrict teachers’ creativity. Do you agree?

Explain your answer.

Sometimes we are severely restrict in time, resources and topics, according to the age or the

skills the students have. As teachers, sometime we need more time to do different activities but

it’s ok when this is restricted it give us a change to be more organize and have the control of each

activity. It don’t restrict our creativity, this give us another look to be creative in short time with

another materials and resources.

Research reflection

Through the years the teachers were characterizers to give the knowledge to the students,

nowadays as teachers we have to investigate, do some research and with this it will

increase our skills as researchers, teachers and give us new approaches and new ways to

teach and learn.

When teachers do research the students and all of us learnt of imitation, this remind us

that we can provide to our community solutions about the problems it has. Teachers are

involve in more than the classroom, they are involve with the community and the

research give answer to all the people that is involve in the situation or problem. “It also

acts as a catalyst for analysis and reflection on how professional development and

enhanced practice connect with pupil learning experiences and outcomes” (Buckler et al.,

2009; Cordingley et al., 2007; Timperley, 2007).

At this days we have to teach how to do research because in this way is where the

knowledge develop and the contents and assessment seems easily. The teacher-learning

process becomes an integral way, the students is the researcher and he built his own

knowledge, but this only would happen if the teacher becomes in a reader, researcher and

improve his/her skill daily, if motivates students to change their thoughts.

With this strategy the teacher, develop leadership, proactivity and creativity. The teacher

role is more than that, and if it’s a research the role is bigger and it has to share their

knowledge about strategies, and give to the world another view about researching.
