Lesson Plans

Hello All!

I just had a quick question... what are you guys putting under objectives for your lesson plans? I only know to pull things out of the IRPs. I am thinking about following the guidelines for the different levels for ESL that are defined by the Richmond SD, but I am not sure if that is right or not. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Marin.

good idea!

everyone, please bring examples of how your school has applied the levels in the classes you were in; I'll endeavour to get some of the district-wide stuff

hope the practica are going well!

Hey Marin,

I've had a similar dimlemma; I tend to leave out the IRP part and just include my own reasoning for why the activity is useful or important. The trouble in my experience is that the students are all in different grades and the courses are very vaguely defined in terms of syllabus (I will be teaching "Literacy Writing" and "Literacy Social Studies," for instance--despite the fact that I have no real socials background or preparation! Basically the teacher is flying by the seat of her pants and coming up with random Can-con readings and vocab exercises... mostly from textbooks, from what I gather... stuff about what an Inukshuk is, what the different Canadian coins are worth and look like, etc.)

Good to hear there is an ESL IRP... I'll have to investigate.

See y'all tomorrow!
