First time experience on creating lesson plan

What is lesson plan ?

In my opinion, from yesterday lesson plan is a just a reference that need to prepared by teachers before entering the class. However from today class I have learn on the importance of the lesson plan and how to create it. How make me  realise the importance of lesson plan for a teacher? 

The story began from my pedagogy class today. Today our task in class is creating lesson plan based on our knowledge. When the discussion start on the content of the lesson plan, we all start giving ideas such as date,time,content,topic,reflection and extra.

                                            
Then, my lecture have be given a task in group work on create lesson plan based on the content of lesson plan that we gave during the discussion. As per our task, we also start our task by searching Google on example of lesson plan. During the searching of the example of lesson plan, I have found different type of lesson plan as been created. After 30 minutes, we have draft a lesson plan based on our understanding. The draft is as below.

Conclusion :

Each of the group has been projected different type of lesson plan which differ from each of the group.After the discussion my lecture have given on importance of lesson plan for a teacher and student.

Lesson plan is  the instructor’s road map of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time. Before you plan your lesson, you will first need to identify the learning objectives for the class meeting.  Then, you can design appropriate learning activities and develop strategies to obtain feedback on student learning. A successful lesson plan addresses and integrates these three key components:

• Objectives of student's learning
• Teaching and learning activity
• Strategies to check student understanding

In conclusion, I have understand the importance of a lesson plan from today's class. A lesson plan is not a simply creating but it is creating based on the student's and teacher understanding before start the lesson to the students.
