How to Make Lesson Plan?

Thursday, January 25^th 2018

So this morning we had a discussion about how to make lesson plan. But we have to know about the learning tools that used in CRPAOS. There are 10 learning tools. First, the Consider All Factors (CAF). This tool can lead the students to think in different angles. Second is Cause and Effect tool, that encourage students to be more reasonable and think about the cause and effect in any topics or situations that discuss in class. Third is Compare and Contrast, looking or the differences or similarities of one topics. Fourth is Know Want Learned (KWL). Know is what the students already know about a topic. Want is what the students want to know. And Learned is what the students have learnt about a topic. Fifth is Ranking. This tool encourage students to have more critical thinking skill.

The sixth tool is Six Thinking Hats, consist of White (the data), Yellow (positive things), Black (critical thinking), Green (creative thinking), Red (emotion or feelings), and Blue (summaries) hats. The seventh is Plus Minus Interest (PMI), can be used to review a current situation or consider a future one. The eighth is Other Point of View (OPV) that allow students to put theirselves in others’s opinion. The ninth and tenth is Diagram and Mind Mapping. This is the common one in Indonesia. Students can represent their ideas and concepts in graphical way. 

After learning the tools, we learn about the activities in class. There are Do Now, Purpose, Work Mode, and Reflection. On Do Now step, teacher can show a picture and let the students to speak first, letting them to give opinions about a topic. Then the Purpose step, teacher explain about the purpose of this lesson. The ability that student can have after the lesson. On Work Mode step, students do the tasks like creating mind map or diagram. The last step is Reflection. Teacher ask the summaries or conclusion about the lesson. 

After learning about learning tools and activities in class, we start to make a lesson plan in the library. We create our lesson plan and Teacher Hin correct us. We finished the lesson plan training on 3.30 pm. Tomorrow we will observe the classes at 9 am. 

Ella go to dorm immediately because she wants to sleep. I, Rahmi, and Tias decided to go back to Big C. We order a taxi to go there. Boom gaves us the taxi number. But we have a trouble when ordering the taxi because the operator can’t speak english. Then we ask the teacher to speak with the operator in Thai. We even ask our student to speak with the driver. 

The driver come and drive us to Big C. Then we go to simcard store to fix it. After that we bought some cosmetics and went home. We choose Tuk-Tuk for our ride back to the dorm and that’s amazing! It feels like I’m on Ojek Bentor in Indonesia. 

The Tuk-Tuk driver drop us near the gate and we found a street foods. We walked around looking for some food and we bought chicken wings for 10 baht and a mango for 20 baht. After that we went back to our dorm and get some rest.
