This website addresses issues that some encounter when designing effective lesson plans. The most important step, in our opinion, is the planning step. The site says without this the other steps are pointless and ineffective. It also gives an example and links to other informative websites.

Teacher Reflection

So we had this project right, and it had three sections and one of those just happened to be to create some lesson plans so us students could teach the class. It was an interesting experience to say the least. This is so, especially, since I thought/think this part of the make or break graduation project was a complete waste of time and wouldn't help me or my fellow comrades at any point in our lives. To say that I was hesitant to do this part was an understatement, but I can say it got better. I would never want to be in the place of a teacher because their job is tedious. Looking at blank computer screens and empty sheets of paper is a horrible feeling and makes a person never want to do anything like that again in their lives.

I have learned however teachers do get all the fun. The students may get to joke and play around in class, disrespect the teacher, and all that, but the teachers always gets the last laugh. The teacher gets to make up ridiculous homework and laugh at the students when they complain about it.

Overall it was pretty decent all things considering. The end...
