To those who DO lesson plans, how many classes do you teach per week?

22 lessons. I can reuse a couple for each level so overall I probably do about 11 lesson different plans a week. I work in PS and one of the reasons being was that I worked out that I'm wasn't going to have the time to do good lesson plans if I was working 30 hours+ a week, and having to do a number of different plans.

6 DIFFERENT regular lessons, 2 different after school lessons (each after school class is 2 hours long and covers multiple subjects, so it's more like 8 lessons there).

In the States I had to write lesson plans for Reading, Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Health, and Math Plus. That ended up being...31 different lessons to write in a normal week.

I teach 18 classes (only three different lessons since I see six classes twice) a week and prepare two lesson plans one week, one lesson plan the next, since each lesson plan is for a two hour class.

My after-school classes use textbooks so for those it's just photocopies and giving the material a once-over. I copy the objectives from the textbook on to my planning sheet, which takes no time at all.

I teach 17 classes a week. I do 4 lesson plans, and edit them through the week to fill in the changes and make improvements.

They aren't required (or maybe they are, but no one's asked or looked at one...), it's just something that makes it easier for me to remember where I am, and what I want to do next, so I'm not standing up there like a tool, scratching my head.

However, when I was teaching Kindergarten, I had no lesson plans. It was a waste, because I never knew how quickly the kids would pick up on a topic, so sometimes we spent the whole time on half a page, and sometimes we ripped through 5pgs.

When I taught hakwon after school programs, same thing... I usually only had 2 things to do that day anyway, and I just followed my schedule.

When I taught adults, I didn't do exactly a lesson "plan" but I had sticky notes all through the book with suggestions to myself on things to bring up, ways to teach, and how I intended to approach each page.

I read your plan on the other thread and I have no idea how you make them do all that stuff in one class!

It's only 4 or 5 activities. The beginning "quiz" is verbal, and just a thing to do while I make them sit down and be quiet. (2 to 5 min)

The listening comp OR sounds exercize (I don't do BOTH in one class) only takes about 10 minutes.

The tongue twister takes between 5 - 15 minutes, averaging 10, depending on the class. If they are bored and don't want to do it, I just give them next weeks and go on to the next part. If it stretches up to 15 min, I cut them off and say we'll do it again next week.

Touching on some other topic in the book is optional. I do it some weeks, and skip it some weeks. Usually only 5 minutes or so just to briefly tell them about it.

The game takes up the remaining 10-15 minutes of the class, since I usually break it in half and teach how and practice one week.

If part of the lesson is flopping, I can just plow through quickly. If part of it is interesting, we can linger on it a bit longer. *Shrug*. I'm finding that having a lot of activities with different themes tends to hold their attention better. If they're used to the idea of moving quickly through things, they work more efficiently. Giving them *more* time actually makes them less effective.

It adds up to a 45 minute lesson. If we end up running out of time, no harm done. The kids know that if they blow through the boring parts quickly they have longer to play the game.

I write down whatever it is I did in class that day in a little box and then hand it in to my fellow co-teachers who can barely read English.

Zeeto, Minsu, and Julie don't really need to be "planned." But, whatever.
