 * Reflections for June 14, 2011**
 * Ludmila Bien**
 * Today we received more in depth information on how to plan our lessons. For immersion teachers it is very important to differenciate between content objectives of the lesson and language objectives.We went over unit planning and daily planning. I think, that steps for daily plannig were clearly defined and are a good guidance for every teacher.**

Erica Behm - As we get closer and closer to actually implementing our lesson plans with young kids, I am getting more and more nervous. Today we talked again about lesson planning, and then had more time to work on our lesson plans. I think that for me, tomorrow will be more beneficial as my group will be doing a complete run-through of our lesson. Hopefully this will show me what does and does not work about my lesson, so that I am able to be more confident in my teaching.

Olga Sventukh-What I have learned today is:

Today our instructor showed the tools and parts that we should include in our lesson plan. We looked at the standards to lesson plans as we slowly recognized the unit plans, weekly plans and daily plans. The daily plans had a lot of components to support balance between content and language objectives. Steps for daily plans were very beneficial for me. I recognized some terminology and what it means and how I can use it in my lessons. The collaborative experience was very helpful. Thank you so much to Vadi who drew pictures which are beautiful and colorful. Thank you so much Jamie who pasted the lesson for our group. Today made me feel very calm because I was nervous before I learned these things.

Jamie Pfahl - Today I learned more about structuring the lesson plan so that everything is in a comprehensible order and so that each activity has a goal. I feel like this will be hard to implement in our very short two-day schedule with complete novice speakers, but I'm eager to see what happens. I'm afraid that there will be some disconnect between groups (like using two different names for the color "blue"), because we didn't have a good structure from the start for clarity of what happens between the groups and between the two days. But overall I think we will do a good job. My group is great - their talents and ideas have been really impressive and helpful!

Sean Owens - This morning gave us a decent introduction to the process of lesson planning. Unfortunately this came a bit late since we had already begun - in fits and stumbles - to develop our lesson plans. One of the new things that we had not really discussed before was the brain-centered instruction. I found it interesting, but mostly uninformative since we were only able to touch upon the subject. Our lesson planning in the afternoon was very productive - we were able to nail down most of our activities.

Tanya Quillen- Мы сегодня углубились в болеть в уроке подробное и раскрытое изучение учительского плана и его важнои части. Как например, учитель обязан знать свою цель конкретно, что он делает, как лучше и доступно донести до детеи, кокои материал лучше использовать на уроке, какие включа активные игры в урок, чтоб заинтерисовать учеников, а также все свои идеи и предложения по методическои программе каждыи из нас смог обсудить в своих группах.

We continue to study lesson’s plan. Our instructor discussed with us in detail how to make lesson’s plan, which help teacher make his lesson successful. We discussed each paragraph and all contents, each group of teacher explain each other how they understand different parts of plan and how they going to explore it. Second part of our day was practice to execute our plan with students. We were preparing to different kind of activities and games, and made for this different kind of application. We tried to help our students in our practice lesson to study, to read and to say few words and sentences, which connect with the word Butterfly and her life.

Our morning activity was productive and informative. Some parts of that I already knew and few things were new for me. Good that we talked about planning our lessons in the morning part. Also, we made some progress with planning our activities for Friday inside of our group. Finally, we came up with a lesson plan for Friday. We still need to practice with our presentations and create some visual materials for teaching kids. I hope that tomorrow we can move forwards even more.

Victoria Mullens - Today we talked about lesson planning and possible activities that we could use while teaching children. This is the hardest part of the teacher’s job: planning how to reach learning objectives, and balancing language and content. I felt that this part of the training could have been given / taught to us earlier because both groups were already in the process of finishing their lesson plans today.

I feel like this will be hard to implement in our very short two-day schedule with complete novice speakers, but I'm eager to see what happens.

HALINA CAMPE. 06.14.2011. На сегодняшнем уроке мы разбирали построения долгосрочного плана и плана одного урока, и какими «ступеньками» продвигаться к поставленной цели. Это была хорошая практика и обмен знаниями, полученными ранее. Спасибо нашему педагогу Myriam Met, которая развеяла сомнения в некоторых вопросах и указала правильное направление. Мы закончили план нашего урока, и сейчас появилось больше уверенности в успехе. Время пролетело быстро, интересно. Мы вместе работали над приготовлением наглядных пособий, все были возбуждены и делились впечатлениями и ожиданиями. Все это хочется довести до логического завершения. А завтра у нас генеральная репетиция…

Вади Постников 06 - 14 - 11 Артистично и тонко Myriam Met расставила такие важны акценты в вопросах планирования урпока и планирования на перспективу. Когда я смотрел на программу, мне казалось, что так много времени уделять планировнию нецелесооьбразно - ведь мы уже знаем основы - :) А такая деталь - когда именно в течение урока проводить активизацию мозговой деятельности - мне казалась малозначимой. Но вот открывается - что лучше в начале урока. И в конце его. И уже в который раз нам напомнили о необходимости контроля усвоения студентами новых знаний... Если установили, что не все поняли, необходимо вернуться на одну или две ступеньки назад и еще раз подняться "по лестнице".


 * Olga Gorbacheva** **6/14/2011** - Today we were discussing the details of a well structured lesson. We were working on the components of the lesson plan. Our Instructor Ms. Met explained some parts of it in details and others were just reviewed. I have a much better picture now what a structurally complete lesson plan looks like. Second part of the day was devoted to our preparation to the lesson demonstration in groups. A lot has been done, I believe it will go great! Thank you all!!

Irene fischer- Wow just completed the lesson plan. The picture is more clear now what we need to do with the kids. Today's lesson was also very helpfull in understanding how to complete the lesson plan template. Our activites in the class was also useful, but unfortunately can not be used with novice students. Grouping methodology can be used for sure.

Rima Avanesova 6.14.2011 - Сегодняшний день был посвящен планированию уроков. Было обращено внимание на планы ежедневные, недельные, план на полугодие и год. Важным этапом в планировании является точное определение темы, отведенные часы на на данную тему. Составляя повседневные поурочные планы, учитель должен учитывать каждый аспект урока, обращать внимание на этапы урока. Первые 10 и последние 10 минут урока самые продуктивные. Новый материал давать надо в это время. Между этими этапами разминка(игры...) Мотивация, дифференцированный подход ,учет активной мыслительной деятельности- все это должно быть основой плана.Без такого видения нет плана действующего и нет урока.

NATALIA WALLACE В первой части нашего занятия был теоретический материал о планах укора.Так же мы активно работали в групах.Сегодня более полно раскрылись некоторые важные моменты на которые необходимо обращать внимание. Вторая часть урока меня порадовала тем, что мы попробовали сами вести урок. И выяснилось что над многим надо ещё работать!!

Татьяна склянина---образное представление ведения урока,что ты за рулем,очень помогает не соити с курса.сегодня прозвучала фраза,как ---ехать по хаивею---это болшая скорость.Учителю хаивеи не нужны.Мы должны двигаться к цели уверенно,но медленно,не пропустив по дороге ничего.А если и пропустили что-то,то по улице легко вернутся,а с хаивея--нет.3ечательные образы,замечательные уроки преподавания!!!

Galina Pokhilchuk 6.14.2011. Продолжаем обсуждение составления плана работы. Сегодня рассматривали все составные части ежедневного плана. Без тщательно продуманного плана невозможно полноценно провести урок. Снова готовились к проведению урока.

6-14-11 Vera Morris Разбирали разние тонкости при написании плана. Много специальнои терминологии: полезнои и просто интереснои. Выяснила для себя что такое Unite plan. Рассмотрели детально ежедневный план. Осталось только претворить его в жизнь, чем мы и занимались после обеда и практи4ески до утра:-))
