This week we didn't attend the university, but we read chapter 21, a PPT and participated in the weekly forum. We read Chapter 21 Planning Lessons. Fourth edition by Jeremy Harmer. THE PLANNING PARADOX: There different opinions about planning lessons Emphasis on timetabling and lesson. USING PLANS IN CLASS: A lesson as an important aspect to be used in class. Lesson as a proposal for action; where interactive take place. So, changes may appear during the development of our lesson plan. Magic moments: -Topics and conversations taking a high level of interest. -Sensible diversion: opportunistic teaching. -Unforeseen problems: bored students, absence, etc . Why plan? - To help the teacher think about the lesson in advance to solve problems and difficulties. - To provide a structure for a lesson. - To provide a map for the teacher to follow. - To provide a record of what has been taught.
