I have never encountered a lesson plan in my life, until I entered NIE. Critiquing a lesson plan seems to be an easy task, where most of the time, we pick out more mistakes than the good job done. However, this should not be the case as it is not a platform for us to pick on another person's mistakes only, but, to actually learn from them both- good and bad pointers.
1) Critiquing lesson plans allow me to set the kind of expectations I hope to achieve when writing one. I do not think I will ace on my first try, but I will definitely keep trying till I get better and be familiarize with it. Constant practices, exposures to lesson plans and also feedback from lecturers/supervisors will help me to write better.
2) When we spot mistakes in others' works, we should think of ways to correct the mistakes instead. Questions like, "Why was it put at such? What was the writer trying to imply? How can I make it better?" should be drilled in our minds. This is another way we can learn and do better as well.
3) Before writing my lesson plan, I need to be focus and construct my thoughts and ideas in a proper manner. This is to ensure the lesson is delivered smoothly, is well-organized and that the students will remember the important objectives of the lesson.
As a teacher, it is one thing to have good knowledge but a setback if our students fail to learn from us.
