Part 3 Assignment

You and an EduSci counterpart will co-create a lesson plan for use in a classroom space and context of your choice. Here is a listing of the pairings (based on participants in first session):

Pairs:

Arup & Waheed
Imran & Aminur
Hosein & Heehyun
Binod & Davies
Uche & Katja

 

Step 1 – Create a lesson plan

Participants will design a lesson plan together for a class context. Pairs should co-create a lesson plan based on a topic of their choice. However, the lesson should involve an activity (not just a lecture).

Deadline:

The lesson plan should be completed before 15.11.2019. You can copy the template for yourself. Place a link to your lesson plan as a comment on this page and containing the link to your blog. Here is the link to a template:

The lesson plan should include information concerning the following:

Name of person(s) creating lesson plan:

• Lesson title / subject:
• Pedagogical theory / learning theory (i.e. pedagogical strategy, pedagogical methods) grounding the lesson (with links to further information if appropriate):
• Learning objectives (from a curriculum document if possible):
• Forms of assessment:

 

• Lesson structure (table below)

Activity	Teaching and learning methods	Other pedagogical considerations	Time (min.)
e.g. Orientation
e.g Group work, etc.
e.g. Homework…

Assessment:

The lesson plan will be assessed by the following aspects:

1. How clear and achievable are the aims and objectives of the lesson?
2. How the educational theory / learning theory (i.e. pedagogical strategy, pedagogical methods) used underpins the lesson design?
3. Are the levels of students’ prior knowledge recognized and addressed?
4. Does the plan demonstrate proper time management? (in other words: is the plan realistic for the time given)
5. Is there an appropriate variety of activities to engage all learners?
6. Are students given opportunities within the plan to share and / or engage in a learning dialogue?
7. Are there opportunities for formative assessment and feedback within the lesson plan? Are these appropriate?

 

Step 2 – Teaching the Lesson (optional) 

Students are encouraged to teach the lesson plan (or an activity from this lesson) if they are currently teaching in a class at the moment. Note: if possible, please take video footage or images of your lesson and provide some reflective comments on how it went to your partner.
