Lesson Plans

                Today I will compare two different lesson plan templates to identify how to prepare a good lesson plan. There are two lesson plans and I will call the first one as a Turkish lesson plan and the second one as an English lesson plan. In that paragraph, I will mention the differences of between two lesson plans.  Both of the versions have divided into 3 parts like in the sample lesson plan that we discussed in class, but the Turkish version has more detailed information than English version. For instance, the Turkish version are giving what the teacher will say to the student during the instruction part but in the English one are not giving. During the instruction part, English one has expected tasks to do from the students, I mean the class like a student-centered, but in the Turkish one the lesson like teacher-centered. 

                In that paragraph, I will inform you on the weaknesses of two lesson plans. Both of them should have more motivation techniques before the instruction start because motivating the student before the instruction is really affect the student attitudes to the lesson. Another, in the English lesson plan, there is no information about the last lesson. I mean, the teacher should know the students level. The teacher can ask some questions like, What we did in the last lesson? What was the last week’s topic? etc. Also, in the Turkish version, there is no timeline. The student should know how the instruction goes on.

                In the last paragraph, I will talk about strength of two lesson plans. Mentioning the last topics is effective in the lesson plans, so I can say that the Turkish version has a strength from this point. Also, both plans have an introduction part before the instruction start. This is also good because knowing what will be done during the lesson and giving some brief information about that days’ topic have positive effects on students to follow the instruction. Another, both lesson plans’ evaluation parts are effective because each plans evaluation techniques are proper according to the topic.

                In here, I want to evaluate and choose a lesson plan that is more acceptable for me. The Turkish version has more point than the English one for me because I think it is has more detailed information. Although explaining the instruction part unnecessarily detailed in the Turkish version, I can say that it has more proper lesson plan.
