23rd November 2011 was another fascinating day in PETA class. As usual, I learned about many new and interesting things such as effective teacher and effective teaching, cooperative learning, developing a lesson plan and so on. At first, I thought that I could not comprehend all the materials given, but Ms. Ine’s strategy to divide us into groups so that each group learned different material and then shared it with the other groups was very helpful for me.
My teammates and I were asked to be the expert group of developing a lesson plan. It was so relieving because during PETA midterm test, we were asked to create a lesson plan. At that time, we were a little bit confused because we did not really know about what the right form of a lesson plan so that it is considered as a good lesson plan, or what a good lesson plan should contain.
From this material about developing a lesson plan, we, especially me, found out that actually there is no exact form of a lesson plan. There is only a guideline or a recipe of a lesson plan. The guideline itself consists of the things that are generally included in a lesson plan. Those things are goal(s) or objective(s), instructional materials or equipment, instructional strategies and assessment methods(s).
From the question and answer session after our group’s presentation, I found an interesting fact. A lesson plan can be considered as a good one when it meets the standards of the institutions (schools or department of education) or people who ask the author to make that lesson plan. For me, it sounds funny, because if what those people ask to be included in the lesson plan are some actually unimportant or irrelevant with the need of the classes which use that lesson plan, it will only be a waste. No matter how funny it is in my thought, I, myself, once experienced it when I joined School Experience Program which was held recently. The components of lesson plan in the reading material given by Ms. Ine were not that similar. It was because the lesson plan which my partner and I had to create during the SEP, had to follow the school’s principle.
Well, above all, this material is really helpful for me and my friends as the teacher candidates. I hope we all can be a better teacher by designing a good lesson plan which not only meets the standards of the institutions or department of education, but meets the students’ needs as well.

make a lesson plan before learn it,, how "super" we are :D
Ira, I do not really agree with your statement that lesson plan is based on the institution. If the fact say yes, so after a teacher make a lesson plan, he/ she will consult it with an expert in that school? how bother it is. moreover, a person who knows the students well is (just) the one who teach them, right?

Thanks for your comment, Far.
Actually, I also disagree with that and your opinion..I couldn't agree more, it is great :D
Unfortunately, what I mean that a lesson plan is based on the institution is only the design and the form. We can reflect from our previous teaching experience, we couldn't use the form or the design of the lesson plan like in PETA module. I experienced it that I should follow the design from the school such as "pendidikan berkarakter".
