The first lesson plan I wrote for this prac took me at least three hours, which seems crazy for one class. But it’s going faster now, and feedback from my mentor teacher has been encouraging. I guess I’m sort of an intuitive thinker, not used to organizing my thoughts quite in the way that you have to to be able to state learning outcomes, resources, timing of activities, etc. At first it was really hard for me to translate what I wanted to do in a class into that kind of lovely, clean PLAN. I like the thrill of the unknown--but there’s enough of that in teaching even with the most solid lesson plan ever. Ironically, having a plan virtually set in stone makes me feel ready for anything.
