Anticipate Problems and Solutions

1. This class will require the use of a computer and access to the internet. In case theres a

problem with the technology have the printed power points in order to be able to present

the lesson on the board without major concerns.

 2. Time issues will be addressed by taking time from the games or review activities if I fall

short of time, conversely, if I finish the lesson explanation before the scheduled time, the

extra time will be employed to address students questions or to start a discussion

concerning French culture. Students will be encouraged to express in the target language.

Corrections

According to my peer feedback:

My original lesson plan didnt have a detailed procedure section. Developing it made me

more self conscious about time and helped me administrate it in a more effective way.
