1. Describe the goals and purpose of your lesson plan.


 * 1) The main goal and purpose of a lesson plan is to be able to successfully transmit knowledge and learning to the students where they could have a meaningful application in real life settings. In order to achieve this goal, I must consider certain aspects in making the lesson plan. Firstly, previous academic performance of the class should be checked so that we could gauge how and what method is best and effective to them. Having a background check, we will be able to identify how to motivate the students in convincing them to engage in the class actively. This is why motivation comes at the beginning of the lesson because this is where we switch the atmosphere into a fun and interesting lecture. of course, time alloted for the discussion should be considered therefore the step-by-step procedure for the entire lesson should be organize in order to achieve the main goal to the students.

2.What problems did you encounter in writing your lesson plan?


 * 1) One of the challenges I could identify which I was having a problem with was on stating the objectives. I had to check if these objectives could cover the appropriate lesson to the class. Aside from making sure that each objective obtains the criteria using SMART approach, we must check if objective is too broad in scope or if it's actually more than one objective as well as determining what actions a student should demonstrate in order for us to know the materials to use for learning. When it comes to assessing their learning, we must determine what parameters for their assignment and how we could specify them for our students. With this, we could address the students who are not sure how to complete assignments because they are lacking specifics.

3. How can you improve your written lesson plan?

I believe there are multiple considerations to improve my writing lesson these are as follow: I could try to write instructional objectives for every topic in every course I teach. I mush consider taking a gradual approach even formulating good objectives for a course may take some time. I should include some objectives at the three highest levels of Bloom's Taxonomy which are analysis, synthesis, and evaluation questions that can and should be included in every subject. I should also avoid beginning an instructional objective with any of these four words: know, learn, appreciate, and understand. These may be the ultimate goals of instruction but they are not valid instructional objectives, since we cannot directly observe whether they have been achieved. We should think of what we will ask the students to do to demonstrate their knowledge or understanding, and make those activities the instructional objectives on topic.
 * 1) Formulating detailed instructional objectives for a course or even for a single topic in a course is not nearly as easy as simply listing the course topics in a syllabus. The effort is worthwhile, though.

4. Did you deviate from your lesson plan? Why/ why not?


 * 1) Deviating from lesson plan is sometimes most applicable especially when the students appear to be most engaged in their learning when doing so. I definitely deviate from my lesson plan because upon gauging the student's interest, it is necessary to switch to whichever appear to be meaningful to the them. One example I encountered in deviating the lesson plan is on the student's behavior which does not allow me to continue therefore I decided to do something on that situation and continue with the lecture by asking question related to the topic if he/she learns from the discussion. For this reason, it is advisable to prepare alternative activities or lesson which may be specific to a particular instructional unit or may be more generic activities.

5. Experienced teachers claim that they can teach their classes even without a lesson plan. How do you react to this. Provide reasons for your answer.

- As a future educator, I need to follow what is required especially in preparing the lesson plan. Before the lesson, I must have a prepared lesson plan which will serve as my guide to know the flow of the lesson. On the contrary, for those experienced teachers who claim that they can teach their classes even without the lesson plan is somewhat for me would be on neutral. Teaching their classes repeatedly would make them memorize the flow of their lesson because they already master it even some students would interrupt, he/she will be able to establish knowledge how to resolve such things however there would be a big possibility that they would deviate from what the actual plan and this might lead to some consequences such as the consume time might not be suitable for the said changes or it might not test the critical thinking skills of the students.
