WHY PLAN?

SEMESTER PLAN vs LESSON PLAN?

TASK What do these books have in common? Look at where the review sections have been placed. What are the possible achievement goals in each review section? Would you change the order of the lessons? Give a reason for your answer.

WHERE DO I START?

Count Your Lessons

Mind the Gap

Assessments

Work Backwards

Lesson Plans More detailed than semester plans Show time per activity Show structure to follow in the lesson. 3 Stages: Presentation, Practice and Production

Task 2

Work with 1-2 other teachers who use the same book as you. In groups, decide on the type of assessments you would aim to do with your students.

Think about the students’ level and number of lessons Think about the students’ level and number of lessons. Also, think about the purpose of the assessment. What should they achieve?

How many weeks will you have between assessments? How do the assessments relate to each other? How intensive are the assessments?

What do they need to know for each assessment?
