A Session by Design
Fatima Chinoy's module on " Designing an Effective Programme/ session Plan" delivered on 10th July,2010,was indeed an 'effective' one. For one, the session unfolded in a very informal manner and before we knew it, we were designing a Programme Plan to teach 'Indus Valley Civilization' to Class 8 students. The module was designed to be a hands- on one; hence Fatima just demonstrated how we could design an effective plan keeping in mind a few key elements.I was amazed at the beautiful designs we could put together!!!The Multiple Intelligences and Brain Based Learning techniques just fitted in so well into the programme so effortlessly.
I found the concept of 'A,B & C' a very effective and a fool proof self check list to write an instructional objective.Easy to remember and easy to execute.
'A' for Audience ; the age group or class of students; the WHO of the objective. '
B' for the Behaviour; the task the audience is able to perform at the end of the session; the WHAT of the objective.
And lastly 'C' the Condition; the circumstance or the resources used or needed for the task to be completed; the HOW of the objective.
Putting the three together, you magically arrive at your instructional objective! As easy as ABC!!!

Hi Renu, Good to read your reflections! So what's the one thing you would like to change in your existing mode of lesson planning - after this session?
Hi Maya, Sorry for the time lag. System(s) was down! The P.C. played up and personally down with a bout of flu.
I would like to change two things about my existing mode of teaching. One- plan more systematically and precisely(been at it for the past one week armed with hand outs and work sheets) and two-to have a plan B (to modify the existing plan with the eye on the clock).
