Creating PDP and PPP Lesson Plans

In this post I present the two lesson plan that I create this week. Besides, I will share with all of you how this process was. The process of create a lesson plan require organization, knowledge, creativity, and specific objectives. These are the aspects that in my opinion are the most important at the time to create a lesson plan. Now I will explain the experience that I face while I did these two lessons.

Before starting creating my lesson plan I felt a little bit nervous. Even though, it was not my first time I felt confuse about the topic and included aspects that I needed to evaluate. Moreover, I got confuse at the time to divide the lesson in the framework PPP OR PDP. These two frameworks are the ones that are use two plan either a planning for productive (listening and writing) or perceptive skills (reading and listening). These were the issues that I faced but after some explanations from the teacher I could start creating my lesson plan.

During the process there were many aspects that I wanted to include; however, I learnt that is necessary to analyze the aspects that we want to evaluate and keep in mind our objectives. The time goes fast when I am creating a lesson plan because I pay too much attention to some aspects. For example, think about the warm up activity that fits better. This is one common thing that happens to me while I am doing the planning. Another thing that I face in this process was that every aspect to evaluate must have a purpose. Teachers should not  include something just to fill the time. After I create my two lesson plans I realized how hard is the job of a teacher because they create a lesson plan for every class and that is what I will do the rest of my life. I really  like to be in charge of the classroom and measure the knowledge of my students so I will enjoy it and of course I will do my best to help my students.
