Lesson of topic 8 : 

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. the curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students.

In week 8, I learn about Chapter 7, the ‘Conceptual Foundations for Planning a Lesson’. Instructional Action Planning are identifying learner preparation activities, getting the classroom ready, listing teaching-learning activities, creating personal prompts, listing support technologies, listing feedback instruments and detailing follow-up activities.

I also learn about Chapter 8 ‘Writing Lesson Plan Goals, Objectives and Strategies'. The parts of lesson plans are first, objective. Objective should be relevant to the curriculum i.e. promote learning outcomes across the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains, (promote a range of levels of understanding (low and high) within each domain, be written specifically i.e. each students must know and be able to do and be achieved by your students). Second, resources. It denotes which resources you and the learners will use in order to accomplish the specific instructional objectives. Third, set induction. How will learners interest be obtained? Set induction  are terms used to indicate the need to start the lesson by capturing learners attention or interest. Fourth, methods/stages of development. How will teaching and learning proceed? This is a description of stages how teaching and learning takes place. Fifth, assessment. How learning be determined? How do plan to monitor your students’ learning and how you plan to evaluate learning at the lesson’s conclusion?. Sixth, closure. How will the lesson be concluded? All lessons need a good finish. Normally, it takes in a form of review that get students to summarize what they have learned and connect it to prior and future lessons.
