REFLECTION:

This article gets my attention for the first two lines “If the trademark of a doctor is the stethoscope, the engineer is the calculator, and the teacher cannot be able to teach without his or her lesson plan” for me that´s right because any teacher should not work without it.

Probably sometimes will be boring and tedious write a lesson plan for each class because it demanding time and you have search about what materials will be necessary for the lesson, however write a lesson plan is really important.

I think that the lesson plan is oriented to help the teachers because there are steps that we have to use for develop the lesson.  In addition to that it functions as a guide in which we can choose the methods and techniques that will be better for the students  and not only that a lesson plan help us to manage our time for each activity and help the students to develop their skills.

On my own experiences as a teacher I have to recognize the importance of the lesson plan because it helps me to develop an organize class and pay attention to the students learning process. I like write lesson plans for teach my students because       I can changes the methods and strategies or make different activities which are relate with the necessities and skills of my students. Although is a little different to write a lesson for ESL students is really interesting to discover How I can help them using a lesson plan too, now for me is a little difficult to write it but is not impossible and        I have to continue because I would like to be a good teacher who helps the students to improve their skills using a good plan.
