"The two basic processes of education are knowing and valuing"Robert J. Havighurst

      As the quotation says the education is a process and to achieve that it is important to have a good lesson plan. Everyone knows that a lesson plan is a document that keep the function  of a guide in class; but  it is important to know that a good lesson plan has some parts that teacher should follow. ESL page says "Having a lesson plan is like having a complete and clear visualization of how a learning session is to take place and how students are able to grasp and retain lesson concepts"; according this quotation we can deduce that is necessary to predispose of one of them, because it helps to know the develop of  our students.

      For knowing how to do a lesson plan we can use the ESL web site. there we can find an infinity of samples of  lesson plans, or if we want we could ask help some teacher.  The most important when we are doing a lesson plan is know the level and age of the students, have in mind the objectives that we want to achieve, what will be the activities, and konw in which  format  we are going to work. If we did a good lesson plan it will be clear and easy to follow to other teachers.

     This new knowledge is like a teasure for as because it s a important key to have succees in class. The only thing we should have a extend knowledge in how is a lesson plan, therefore I am going share some pages that will show you samples of lesson plans.

SEVETH WEEK OF CLASS

"It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are"


e.e. Cummings

     For present  a professional Power Point Presentation  it is necessary to avoid some things that show it as some ridiculous. First, it is important to organise the information in key words, avoiding  to add unnecessary information . Besides, we  can put this in graphic organiser. Second, it is important not to use  exotic animations because people who see it will pay attention on the animation instead of the information. Furthermore, you should not  add   strong or bright colors. Finally we should avoid to put pictures that are very extravagances that do not show anything, they must be more professionals, and be according to the content of the presentation. As a result,  I will apply it to do excellents  Power Point Presentation that lok very professionals.

Here, we have a video to do a professional Power Point Presentation

 

  

Sixth week of class

"Nowadays, anyone who cannot speak English and is incapable of using the Internet is regarded as backward".

  

Al-Waleed bin Talal

         Today, one of the most important tool in education is Internet. This was the principal objective of the class  was the great importance of internet on education. We learned about more pages that help us to increase our material to be  good teachers, those places were web sites as delicious www.delicious.com, or some  places where we can find information or keep it. As a result, this information was called by us  like the best of the best, because it is really helpful to succeed.

         This good information came to us through  a PowerPoint  Presentation that was given by teachers. They shared this information, and to have a good reinforcement of it i think is necessary to see a video that shows the real importance of internet in our teaching life.

 as you know, sometimes, this source is not well used or something worst that students do not have access to internet, to reflect about it, it is necessary  to see this video:

     Finnaly. I think this kind of information had a big accepting. Therefore, we will try to keep it to use it to find good resouses to teach English  in a critical and useful way.

This interest place is DROPBOX, that is founded in this link www.dropbox.com . We accessed it through an invitation, and there we created an account in this place because in there we are going to create a virtual portfolio. Finally, we knew that we can upload and keep all kind of files.
