This unit gave a very brief overview of basic Lesson Planning. While I agree lesson planning should be as simple as possible, I feel it is necessary to go into as much detail as possible when first starting out as teacher. A lesson that is thoroughly thought out and planned, using as much paper as necessary, is bound to go better than a lesson planned on a single piece for a beginning teacher. This does not mean the lesson will be rigid and inflexible; it means that careful consideration has been put into the lesson, and can still be changed as necessary to meet learner needs. As a teacher gets more experience, plans are sure to become more compact, especially as they develop their own teaching style. To this end, I would like to have seen a more in-depth explanation of each section in a lesson plan, along with several different examples of lesson plans. I would also argue that the age of learners is an important part of a lesson plan; you would not use the same types of activities for a group of adult learners as you would for preschool aged learners, even if they were at the same language level.
