Chapter 6c

            This section of Chapter 6 discussed the elements of a lesson plan. Throughout my time at Bradley, I have completed extensive amounts of work on lesson plans. The authors took a different approach at explaining a few things, which I really enjoyed to read about. For example, they suggested splitting the objectives into three categories, cognitive, affective and psychomotor. I have never done this, but I like that it gives objective writing some direction. I never know where to begin when writing my objectives for a lesson.

            This section of the chapter also talked about putting time increments. I have done this on a few lessons before, but I am noticing how helpful it really is throughout my student teaching experience. It helps to put suggested times on the lesson plans because it creates the lesson plan into a schedule, as well. If something goes over, it is easy to take a look at what can be shortened or taken out that is coming up next in the lesson.
