Preparing to complete assignment 3

Well, i have to say that this week i was busy preparing to complete assignment 3 where we have to create lesson plan based on the four skills. They are writing, reading, listening and speaking. We had to draw lots in order to get the topic. I got Year 3 with the topic- working people. Well, i have to say that this assignmnet is really challenging as we have to create lesson plan based on all the skills. It is not an easy assignment but it will be very beneficial to us in the future especially during the teaching practice. This is so as,we have to teach the same topic for the week using different skills.
Therefore, my whole week was occupied with completting the assignment. It really test us on time management. aas we know. Time management is crucial in doing any work. As i have mentioned in the previous blogs, through well planned time management anything is possible. Therefore, I did not waste any time in planning in the assignment. I am already doing half of the assignment. There is only another part left. One may think that it can be done very fast. Nevertheless, we have to really see whether one lesson is related to another lesson, is there flow in the lesson and many more.
In the process of doing the assignment, I have realised that it is very important to scrutinise the lesson and objectives in order to create a good lesson plan. Moreover, when planning the lesson, one should ask himself or herself questions like " Will the pupils be able to understand the input?", "Is the language simple?", " Are the inputs too easy or difficult for the pupils?" and many more. If one is able to question himself or herself in that manner i personally believe that the lesson will be able to attract pupils' attention as well as be successful.
