I have a few questions about lesson plans.
How in-depth are they? For instance, do you just write a couple of paragraphs or a couple of pages for each day of class?
How long does it take to write up one day's worth? I keep hearing about teachers who have to go to school 2 hours before classes start. Are lesson plans that long?
Thanks! |

Each school will have different requirements. I've never worked at a school that requires I hand in a lesson plan, but I always make them. There have been threads about lesson plans before. You might want to try a search and read about what other people have said. It seems to me that a lot of people said they spend around an hour planning each lesson. I know that is about the amount of time I spend writing one, on average. It depends on what kind of lesson it is, of course. I include an estimate of the amount of time I want to spend on each activity.
Many schools have their own text book, so teachers don't have to spend more than 5 minutes on a plan. |

My current hakwon requires that I do lesson plans, but I think it's a good idea. At my previous hakwons I never had to do any, and I have found that my teaching has improved a lot with the plans.
When I first started writing the leson plans, they took me maybe 30 minutes or longer for each plan, but now some only take me 5 or 10 minutes and others take 10-15 depending upon the books I use.
I try to do about 1 page for each lesson and break it down into introduction, activities (descriptions about how to do them) and homework. I also note down approximate times for each section of the class so I can get everything done.
The more you do the faster you will become at it. |

lesson plans? DUDE!! the thang is, you don't need to do lesson plans. Just show up, flash a couple pictures of a dog and cat and let the kids repeat. Then throw on some sesame street while you text message your bitch and look up internet porn! word dude! |
