About a lesson plan by Juan Castro

a. How important do you think a lesson plan is to a successful lesson? What features do you think a lesson plan should include? 

A lesson plan is very important to ensure learning and improvement in educational quality. To me, we should include a new methodology to make that students don´t get confused with several topics, for instance, through practical activities, namely, encourage students learning by practicing, it would be a great way to get knowledge avoiding text booking.

b. Do you think it is a good idea to strictly follow a lesson plan? Why?

Well, I think we should keep in mind the context and students behavior to decide if follow the lesson plan or whether it´s necessary to apply some changes in order to get a better lesson, it’s a free choice, thought.

c. Some people think that lesson plans severely restrict teachers’ creativity. Do you agree? Explain your answer. 

Agreed, I think that a strict lesson plan restrict not only teachers´ creativity but their thinking about what is wrong or right. I´d suggest keeping calm and make a lesson plan well-structured according to both students and teachers needs.
