Preparing a Lesson Plan
I am working on preparing my "Japanese Particles" and "Poe" lesson plans. I found some good online resources to outline the lesson plans so I have a better idea of the order of instruction and such. Having never taught a lesson, I am afraid I will not include enough material or information, and the lesson plan will be confusing to the students. That is why I downloaded a lesson plan outline from a teaching resource to aide in my lesson planning.
Here is a sample of the lesson plan that I am using. Do you think this outline is comprehensive enough to provide an educational lesson?

Relinquishing Your Classroom
I never understood the problem my classmates discussed in class about their teachers not wanting to let them teach in their classrooms. I never understood that is until I had to turn the classroom back over to my cooperating teacher.
I began teaching after fall break in October. I was so excited to teach a subject I was very comfortable with--Shakespeare. The requirement was for me to teach all the classes for two weeks straight. I had the two weeks planned out from the beginning. There would be background information available about Shakespeare and the England he lived in. There would be a reading of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and we would also incorporate poetry. I would have the students read a variety of poetry and experiment with writing some. They would also have to memorize at least five lines from a poem to recite in front of the class.
After the two weeks, the lesson seemed unfinished. There was still two more weeks in there before Thanksgiving break with several days off for various activities. My cooperating teacher allowed me to continue my lessons with analyzing poetry and more reading and writing. We all had a blast!!
The problem came after Thanksgiving break when I had to relinquish the classes to my teacher because I only had about two weeks left of school. It took one day for me to realize how much I loved to be up there teaching the kids. All it did was fuel my fire for teaching and gave me strength to finish out this semester strong.
