Lesson Plans.

Plannings are the most important and convenient way that will keep teachers organized and on track while teaching. It is also a way to ensure that our educational objectives are achieved.

My experience while planning began when i thought about how would I like my students to approach their learning, what would I like my students to do, what would I like them to understand, know or be able to do at the end of the lesson. I realized that  as teachers it is really important to consider the effects of our teaching and activities on our students' learning. At the end of the process of planning I realized that  it help me as a teacher to be more organized and give a sense of direction, so it will help me to be more confident while delivering the lesson.


Being teacher might  not be seen as the brilliant job, but being teacher for me is one of the most rewarding and inspiring job.
