English Lesson Plan

What is leson plan...???

                A lesson plan is a framework for a lesson. If you imagine that a lesson is like a journey, then the lesson plan is the map. It shows where you start, where you finish and the route to take to get there.

Lesson plans are the product of teachers’ thoughts about their classes; what they hope to achieve and how they hope to achieve it. They are usually, though not always, in written form.

There are as many different kinds of plan as there are teachers. Trainee teachers often have to produce very detailed written plans, with descriptions not only of each activity but also listing the exact questions and instructions they will give the class as well as the timings for every activity. In a full-time teaching situation, however, it is impractical to expect teachers to plan with this level of detail each lesson they teach.

 Newly qualified teachers may rely on a less detailed, but still fairly comprehensive written plan. As teachers gain experience and confidence, planning is just as important, but teachers develop the ability to plan much quicker and with less need for detail.

Very experienced teachers may be able to go into a class with just a short list of notes or even with the plan in their head. Whatever the level of experience though, it is very important that all teachers take the time to think through their lessons before they enter the classroom.  

What is the important of lesson plan...???

>>These are some reasons for you: 

1. Planning is a sign of professionalism. Students expect teachers to be    professional. If you are prepared, the students can tell. They also know if you are not prepared. Planning is a way to help gain the respect of your students. 
 
2. By planning you are considering your teaching situation and your particular students. However good your teaching material or course book may be, it is unlikely that it was prepared for your particular students. Planning gives you the opportunity to tailor your material and teaching to your class. 

3. As we have seen, lessons need to have certain elements and features such as ESA. Planning encourages teachers to consider these points and ensure they are included in the lesson. 

4. Planning gives the teacher a chance to predict possible problems in the class and think about ways to deal with them. By thoroughly researching the target language and being prepared for difficult questions, for example, the teacher can feel confident in the classroom.
 

"If you imagine the

lesson is like a journey,

then the lesson plan is

like a map"

                   Without some kind of planning, a lesson could be just as chaotic and could leave the students with no clear idea of what they were doing or why. This kind of uncertainty is not good for effective learning or class discipline. One of the most important reasons to plan is that the teacher needs to identify his or her aims for the lesson. Teachers need to know what it is they hope to achieve in the class, what it is they want the students to be able to do at the end of the lesson that they couldn’t do before.

Irregular Verb

Irregular verbs are an important feature of English. We use irregular verbs a
lot when speaking, less when writing. Of course, the most famous English verb of
all, the verb "to be", is irregular.

What is the difference between regular verb and irregular verbs?

	Base Form	Past Simple	Past Participle
With regular verbs, the rule is simple...
The past simple and past participle always end in -ed:	finish	finished	finished
	stop	stopped	stopped
	work	worked	worked
But with irregular verbs, there is no rule...
Sometimes the verb changes completely:	sing	sang	sung
Sometimes there is "half" a change:	buy	bought	bought
Sometimes there is no change:	cut	cut	cut

One good way to learn irregular verbs is to try sorting them into groups, as
above.

I have made a list of common irregular verb you can download below

Plot, Character, And Setting In Prose

What Is Plot, Character, And Setting In Prose...???

In a story consist of some elements like plot, character and setting.
1.    PLOT
Plot is not simply the events recounted in the story but the author’s arrangement of those events according to their causal relationships.
There are three kinds of plot:
-    Begining
-    Middle
-    End
We begin by discussing the structure of plot in termsbof beginning, middle and end. We may now see that the beginning takes us from exposition to the initial statement of conflict; the middle, from conflict through complication to climax  and the end, from climax to denoument.
The terms of the story consists of:
a.    Exposition
The first thing we may note about this paragraph is that it provides us with a certain amount of information to introduce character and the setting of the story.
b.    Rising Action
Some promblems of the story will be raise.
c.    Climax
The paek of the conflict.
d.    Falling Action
The result or effect from conflict to character and setting.
e.    Resolution
The conclude or ending of the story containing the problem solution.
 
2.    CHARACTER
Character is the participant of the story. They are protagonist ( the main character), antagonist (have a bad character), and the minor character ( which usually have interaction with protagonist to help the story).
Character consists of two general catagories:
a.    Simple (flat) character
The simple or flat character is less the representation of a human personality than embodiment of a single attitude or obsession in the character . This character flat because we see only one side of the person.
b.     Complex (round) character
We can see all side of person in the story. The complex character is obviously more life like than the simple, because in life poeple are not simply embodiment of the single attitude.

CHARACTERIZATION
The way how the writer or author conface his/her character. The author’s usually we use direct ( explicit) or indirect (implicit) to conface the character.
There are two characterizations such as:
a.    Direct Characterization
The author’s simply tells the readers what the character is like.
b.    Indirect Characterization
The readers should find out the characteristic of the character by seeing looks or appearences speech or words, action, and also their interaction with another caharacters.
METHOD OF CHARACTER PORTRAYAL
    The author must choose not only what kind of character he will present, but also by what methods he will present them.  We shall clssyfy these as:
a.    Discursive Method
The author who chooses the discursive method simply tell us about his characters.
b.    Dramatic Method
How the readers to understand or determined the character of the story is by seeing his action and also the speech of the character.
c.    Character on the other character
We can see one of the character from see the other character.
d.    Contextual Method
By the contextual method we mean the device of suggesting character by the verbal context that surrounds the character. Verbal context is surround the character tell us about the character itself.
e.    Mixing Method
Combination with the other methods or mix some methods. In evaluation an author’s method of characterization, the readers must keep in mind appopriateness of author’s methods to the overall design of the story.
 
3.    SETTING
Everything that happens somewhere at sometime. Setting refers to the point where and when a story take place or accur.  There are two types of setting such as:
a.    Neutral setting
Often the setting in a work of story is little more than a reflection of the truth than things have to happen somewhere. So, we get simple/ general information.
b.    Spiritual Setting
We can get more spesific information ( where/place, time) of the story accur.
