Introduction
Once you have a general map for where you are going and your rationale for going there, you can begin to fill in the details of how you are going to get there and what you will take note of along the way. The precise combination of methods, examples, and sequential order in a session plan is guided by many principles, including your students, your subject matter, and the materials and classroom space available to you. How extensive and detailed your plan needs to be is largely a matter of personal choice. Again, remember that the plan is not a script; in fact, you are the primary audience for the plan, not your students. Let the following questions guide you reflections and planning.
- What method(s) will help you accomplish your goals?
- What examples and activities will you use?
- How will the examples and activities be sequenced?
