How long does it take you to write lesson plans for the week?
Q. I'm a 10th grade history teacher, i hate lesson plans! It takes me a while to write them for the week... I was wondering how long it takes other teachers to write their weeks worth of lesson plans?

A. The first time you teach a new course, it is difficult because you need to read the content and write your lesson plans. The beauty is that if you keep them, you can simply pull them out the next time you teach the course and they are done (although you may want to tweak them depending upon what works or not). In my first year of teaching high school, I would devote about one and a half to two hours a night for the next day's lesson. I did good lessons, kept them in a binder, and simply pull them out when I teach that course. My second year was significantly easier because of this. Remember, the time you put into your lessons will pay dividends for your students and your own self-confidence and will make your life easier in subsequent… [cont.]

A. Heh. I wonder what they would have said about Yahoo Answers. About all I can think of is to simply have the students read their stories. Most are short and fairly straightforward. But I wonder if you're prepared to deal with the writers, instead of the writings. None of these folks was ever rumored to be particularly happy, and a lot of alcohol was served there at the Algonquin. It is interesting, however, that while most writers are solitary creatures and unable to take much solace in the company of others, especially other writers, these people were able to keep each company for as long as they did. Perhaps there's something there that's worth examining.

A. There are great resources available on edhelper.com and abcteach.com. They have printables/worksheets, and lesson plans. Some af the resources are free. You'll have access to all of the resources if you join and pay the fee. You can also see if there is a teacher supply store in your town. The School Box is a good one in GA. They also will let you order online.

A. I am an English teacher teaching outside the US. I spend about one hour for one hour of class on lesson plans. These include notes, research, new information, and the plan for the class period. Even though I teach the same class at different levels, all students learn at a different speed. They are always at different leavels and they always need different kinds of help. At times I have a class and out of that class 1/2 understand and the other 1/2 just don't get it: I must adjust my leason plan for the day to help those behind and not to bore those who are advanced. Then there is time to correct leasons, read reports, and give progress reports.My day does not end when the bell rings.

I would suggest having them first of all design a set for a certain setting. place or time, you know, something like outer space, or the wild west, that they can really imagine a lot of different things. Like a paper and ink sketch. Once their paper and ink is finished, take one sketch and have the class have fun designing a scale model for that set. Watch closely if there's anything to be changed about how they work (too much paint, hammering to close to edges). You can do this multiple days, with different peoples pictures to liven things up a little!
