Lesson planning and classroom activities/ TVYL

A lesson plan is a route that the instructor must take to teach what the students do and must do it effectively during class time. Class planning includes designing appropriate learning activities and developing strategies to obtain feedback on student learning.

Having a carefully designed lesson plan facilitates the development of the class and has the result of having a meaningful learning experience with your students, since the lesson plan is about planning each element in detail so that the student achieves the required learning.

To make a lesson plan you must do:

1. Identify the learning objectives.

Before planning your lesson, you must identify the learning objectives of the lesson. A learning objective describes what the student will know or be able to do after the learning experience. It is usually written in a language that students easily understand.

2. Plan to evaluate the student's understanding.

The assessments provide opportunities for students to demonstrate and practice the knowledge and skills they should have.

The evaluation planning allows you to know if your students are learning what they have learned in the classes.

3. Plan to sequence the lesson in an attractive and meaningful way.

- Calling students' attention is a key to students paying attention to the class and studying it.

- Inform the student of the objectives: So that the students assimilate what they will learn and then put them into practice in the activities organized in the class.

- Stimulate the memory of previous knowledge: This stage helps the students to understand the new information relating it with something experienced by them.

- Present new content: Variety of interactive methods such as: readings, activities, projects, multimedia and others.

- Provide guidance: Advice students on strategies to help them learn the content.

- Practice: Allow students to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the class.

- Students must learn to apply knowledge in group or individual activities, and to provide comments on the topic.

A productive lesson is not one in which everything goes exactly as planned, but one in which the students and the instructor learn from each other and the class is not only a class but a time to play and learn at the same time with activities in the classroom.

 It is likely that teaching and learning techniques help students to participate actively in classes where they are aware of the knowledge acquired based on classroom activities that are very important when running one, especially in the area of kindergarten, since age is a great challenge to maintain the attention of children with common techniques and not flashy.

And as the name implies, are activities designed or implemented by the teacher to carry out or create conditions for optimal learning. The difference between a Learning by Design approach to employ various learning activities and other teaching approaches is related to the pedagogical nature or main intention of the selected activities. For that we must take into account these steps:
