 Posted: Wed May 15, 2013 6:11 pm Post subject: Sample lesson plan for EPIK |
 |
|
| Completing an application for EPIK for a job a recruiter is trying to line me up with but it asks for a sample lesson plan. Ive never made a lesson plan of this kind before so Im not sure what theyre looking for. Ive found some online that look good but the app says the lesson needs to be minimum 2 pg single space while the majority of what ive found is about 3 paragraphs worth. Anyone have a good sample lesson plan I can adapt/learn from for this purpose? |

Choose a grammar point or some target language and then follow the 3 ps. Presentation, practice, production.
2 pages is a bit long for an hour long lesson plan. Aim for 5 activities plus a warmer and a closer. Also include details like time for each activity, materials required, level of interaction (teacher-student, student-student).
Good luck. |

I was hesitant to answer your post because I assume I'm thinking what everyone else is - if you can't design a decent 1hr lesson plan on your own, you have no business teaching via EPIK. Now, with being said, you will find entry of resources to start from. I would try BusyTeacher and get an Edmodo account while you're at it.
If you want this community's input it may be better to bring us a finished lesson plan for us to critique and provide input.
Best of luck! |

This is what I love. You either get these people who can see the trees from the forest, or those that only want snapshots of the forests.
Did it ever occur to you that no matter how good your lesson plan is, you still need to present it in class and students need to be open to it.
Being able to draft up a lesson plan is not an effective talent, being able to address a situation in class is.

First, I want to see you swallow your own medicine. You say if a person can't plan a 1 hour lesson plan on their own then they have no business teaching through EPIK.
Is there really a 1 hour lesson plan you can provide that can't be picked apart? It all depends on how responsive the student is. I taught 36 classes in a 2 week span of time, 18 classes in 10th grade and 18 in 11th grade. Out of those 36 classes, 5-10 classes picked up on the material covered easily. 10-15 classes needed practice and finished 75% of the lesson plan. The remaining classes had sprinkles of students who gave some interest but didn't want to carry the load of the class, so they became quiet after they did "their share" of participation.
Bump these up to university and private settings, and you have rich brats who either don't come to class, making your lesson planning useless from the get go or they sit there with tablets and cell phones during the whole period.
So, what I would like to see how teachers address this in their "1 hour" lesson plan. Lesson plans written like a program are less effective than a stream of ideas you can pick and choose from depending on the responsiveness of a particular class. Don't go in assuming 1 lesson plan will carry you through that week of classes. |

Woah... Are you on drugs or something?  Calm down a bit - you sound hysterical and silly.
You seem to assume a lot. All I said was: 1) if you can't even design a 1hr lesson plan on your own you can't expect to be able to design an entire semester's worth of lessons, and 2) you should give it a crack on your own and show us so we can provide input.
I pointed him to BusyTeacher (lots of lesson plan examples) and Edmodo (a networking site better suited to providing input).
I don't see what you're getting so upset about. Do you feel threatened or something? I don't quite understand. |

This is terrible, terrible advice. |
