lesson planning worksheet

Some of my friends are running a program teaching migrant youth in Beijing, called ValuEd China, and they were helpful enough to provide me with their lesson planning worksheet:



I don't know how involved we will be with creating lessons, but the questions here, like what prerequisites do the students need, and what learning goals do you have, are all worthwhile to think about.

From the one classroom teaching experience I've had, I've found that I like to keep a simpler worksheet on hand. I would just use a spreadsheet or a table with one column for the time alloted to each activity, one column for the description, one column for the learning goals, and one column for materials needed and maybe some notes on what you want to say, or some combination thereof. At the bottom I list all the materials I need to prepare for that day and a summary of the learning goals.

Right now my computer/internet access isn't great but I'll see if I can find an example of that later.
