Lesson planning.

Lesson planning is a major part of teaching. It is very obvious that all teachers have their own style of lesson planning, and have learned what works for them. After writing lesson plans myself and reviewing many different ones last week I havecome to find out what works best for me as well. Having to write full out Madiline Hunter lesson plans for each lesson does not seem necessary. However, many of the components in her style of lesson plan are great and should always be used. I feel if you are a more expierenced teacher and have taught the lesson several times to students then you do not need a very detailed, in depth lesson plan. However, if you are writing a lesson plan for the first time you are doing a lesson then I do feel it should be more detailed. It is obvious that the more detailed the lesson plan is the better prepared for that lesson you will be. Also, even for expeienced teachers, you need to write step by step very detailed lesson plans if you are having a substitue teacher that day. They have never been in your classroom and possibly have never taught what you had planned to teach that day, so you as the main teacher need to write everything they may need to know.f
