This time we presented our own lesson plans. I haven't done a lesson plan before, so this was a worthwhile lesson to learn. I learnt that one should write different sections on a lesson plan, such as introduction, main section, and conclusion, and also have to allot time for giving homework. The duration of these different sections should be included in the plan. This exercise was useful, since now I already have one model of a lesson plan that I could use at work as a teacher (even though this first lesson plan is quite plain).
At the group work during the lesson I got some good, new ideas of what methods could be used when teaching about sustainable development. For example, I like the idea that students should go to companies to interview staff on sustainable development or other topic at hand. This kind of exercise encourages students to contact companies and thus form contacts to the world of work.
Moreover, this group work was quite interesting experience, since the group was new to me, and we compiled a presentation via Internet in 40 minutes. It was useful to learn about the possibilities of online learning for my own teaching work.
