WEEK 8

"If you think education is expensensive, try ignorance"
Derek Bok

Hello my friends!In the last week we learned about the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.In the classroom we saw some PPT about each skill, the presentations explaned us about the process to teach each skill. For example in the listening skill we have to made the pre-listening, while-listening and after-listening. As well as in reading skill we have the same process. For writing skill the process is planning, drafting, revising and editing. And for speaking skill first is the guided practice and later free oral practice.

First,for teaching any skill we have to follow a process,for Writing the steps are: 1. planning, 2. drafting, 3. revising, 4. editing. For speaking the steps are: guided practice and then free oral practice. For Listening and Reading we have the same process: pre...- while...- and post... In this way we can understand how important is to follow a process while we are teaching a skill.

Second, we learnt that a lesson plan is a document in which is explained all the steps and activities that the teacher will follow in his class. Also. it explain about what he/ she expects in the lesson and how they can achieve it. This topic is very important for me as a teacher, because now I really understand that prepare a class is the key to be a teacher.

Third, with my teacher's help and her explanaition all the class was clear. The teacher gaave as a class about a lesson plan she used a PPT to explain us about the content of the lesson plan. In my opinion her explanaition really helps me to achieve my goals during this class.

Finally, I think that have learned about the process to tecah the four skills will help me in the future to create a good lesson plan. Additionally, learned about how to do a lesson plan will help me in my future life as a teacher.
