Chapter 5 Reflection AG

I found chapter 5 to be quite useful as a future teacher. As a future teacher one of the greatest concerns is knowing how to properly create a lesson plan, and a unit plan. Although knowing how to properly make a lesson plan, will come with experience, it is still useful to read about creating a lesson plan. I like how the chapter outlines the different components of creating a lesson plan. One thing I paid close attention to was the ABC's of objectives; which are, the audience, the behavior, and the conditions. In the process of learning it is important to have the purpose of a concept upfront. The ABC's allows us to present this information to our students. We are able to create our lesson plans, considering the audience, the behavior (performance) we are trying to achieve, and the condition being how the audience will achieve the behavior we are trying to achieve. Another beneficial aspect this chapter offers, are the lesson plan examples. Being able to visualize an example, allows me to see what type of product is expected when creating a lesson plan.

  1. The ABC model of writing objectives is consistent with what we've talked about in class. Objectives should clearly state what the students (audience) should know or be able to do (behavior) but also how (the conditions) you intend the students to get there. Written this way, objectives provide a great "thumbnail" of the whole lesson.
