What are the best Guitar lesson online take? Online or one on one personal and cost?

April 222011

Guitar lesson was looking around for these but see a lot online but not sure if worthwhile online or is better personally as I guess is a bit like learning a language online is not always the best option is it, any ideas?

Well there are heaps of online classes to choose from and aren’t that hard to find but I guess most are average to pricey. I see some have suggested teaching yourself and so on with youtube also a good method, but could take ages depending on the type of learner you are, some get it real quick while others don’t. Obviously one on one training would be the best method but I would imagine very pricey also but would be the best way by miles. Good luck and oh! May I also suggest having a look at the source below for ideas.
Happy playing.. and fun learning

How is a good lesson plan supposed to look?

April 202011

I am a student, and our class has an assignment to teach the rest of the class about monohybrid cross and punnett squares. It was not very clear on how the lesson plan is supposed to look, so I thought I would just find out how a normal teacher’s lesson plan would look and make ours like that. Can someone please explain to me how a good one is supposed to look?
Thanks!!!
:D
There are many formats for lesson plans. Basically they should have goals, objectives, activites,
and evaluation methods. Go to thelessonplanpage.com. This site features lesson plans from teachers all over the world grouped by subject and grade. Many of the teachers submit formal plans, so you should be able to find some models there. It’s a free site.

How can you integrate math into a lesson on plate tectonics? continental drift?

April 182011

I am in college studying to be a teacher. I have to make a lesson plan on continental drift or plate tectonics incorporating math. Any ideas?

The lesson is for the sixth grade.

Thanks!

Why not talk about how fast the continent’s are drifting from one another? You can use the drift velocity and the equation x = v*t to predict how predict how far a continent will drift in a certain period of time or how long it would take a continent to drift a certain distance (say one mile). While this is a fairly basic integration of mathematics, you are tying a concept in math to the idea of plate tectonics.

How many hours of lessons does a beginner driver really need?

Im looking to book some lessons. Where i live they, like everything else, are more expensive than anywhere else.
I do have road sense, as i did my licence for a 50cc scooter in Spain and drove that for 3 years. Would that help me knock some lessons off?

Any help would be great! Thanks

As much as you could put in.

I think riding a scooter is much different from driving a car, so I don’t think that would help as much as you’d want.

Road sense; it’s a good thing. But you can’t just depend on knowing something, you have to actually experience it. I learned that the hard way. I was always telling my parents I knew what I was doing and I knew how to read roadsides and what to do, but sometimes when I’m driving I totally forget and things go wrong. So it’s good to put some experience in it and catch onto those mistakes.

Most often though, it really depends on the person. If that person is more serious and willing then it might be quick. If that person passes up on practice opportunities and such, it might take longer.

how to write a good lesson plan?

April 112011

When planning for a class lesson, for early primary classes what things should be included in the lesson plan? How much detail is needed? Is there anything that is easy to forget but should be included? Links to written examples of good lesson plans would be helpful. I am writing a lesson plan for an oral language experience. The activity relates to a text the students are familiar with, I am not asking for the activity just help with what needs to be put into the plan so it is usable by other teachers.

The best thing to do is think of lesson plans as an outline and leave out as much detail as possible. Otherwise, it’ll take FOREVER to write them and you’ll be accountable for everything. Plan for every min, but don’t write it in your plan. But it depends on your Admin.

I suggest that you turn in very simple plans and, if they ask for more, you can always add information. Same thing for other teachers. It’s a plan not a script. Every teacher is different and you can spend an afternoon crafting the perfect plan for you, but have half of it unused by other teacher b/c they have their own techniques and bag of tricks they prefer to use.

KISS: keep it short and simple.

How do I make a good lesson plan based on the RACISM?

April 82011

How do I make a good lesson plan based on the racism?

Several years ago, a woman in Iowa did a demonstration with her classes where she had students with brown eyes (I think, I could have them backwards) wear signs and sit in the back of the room. She got very dramatic results- within a very short time, the students started discriminating among themselves and calling each other names. Even more, the academic achievement of the browned eyed students plummeted by the end of the week! You can see more about this if you Google Blue eyes, Brown eyes.

She got in a little bit of trouble because the parents thought she was traumatizing the children, so I wouldn’t try anything like that. But you could pose it as a question. What if you divided them by the color of their eyes, or some other criteria that they had no control over. What if you told one group that they were going to have to sit in the back of the room, let the other students go first to lunch, stay off the playground at recess? How would that make them feel? Get responses from them- then tell them examples of how racism has hurt people in the past and still does.

Katelyn- I hope you read this, because you have a real problem. If you are repeating what you hear your parents say, please try to read some other perspectives.

the difference between unit of work and lesson plan?

April 62011

In preparation for teaching a subject at a secondary school, what are the differences between unit of work and lesson plan?

don’t know about unit of work unless they mean a specific topic like : Significant Civil War Battles.

A lesson planis exactly what you are doing:

the objective
the materials
the procedures
the evaluation

How do you write a good lesson plan?

April 42011

When planning for a class lesson, for early primary classes what things should be included in the lesson plan? How much detail is needed? Is there anything that is easy to forget but should be included? Links to written examples of good lesson plans would be helpful. I am writing a lesson plan for an oral language experience. The activity relates to a text the students are familiar with, I am not asking for the activity just help with what needs to be put into the plan so it is usable by other teachers.

In a lot of respects, it’s like writing an essay. The key things to remember to include are:

1. Lesson Objective/Outcome - what should the majority of students be able to do by the end of the lesson?

2. Introduction/Orientating activity - how does the lesson start? What technique/activity is used to focus the students on the topic?

3. Body/Enhancing activity - what are the students going to do to extend and develop their understanding of the topic?

4. Plenary/Consolidating activity - how are you going to reinforce the learning that has just happened to ensure maximum retention?

You can include time limits as well… but with early primary it’s not always feasible to stick to these times - especially if you have a wide range of learning abilities/styles.

Sorry I don’t have any links handy - I’m answering ‘on the fly’!
