A lesson plan is a roadmap that outlines what will be taught in a class and the resources used to ensure the lesson is successful. The subject that has to be prepared for the study should be specified by the instructor in the plan for the task, and the specifics of the topic and the structure of the lesson should be defined. In this scenario, it is necessary to use a conventional school curriculum and various teaching methods, such as dividing the pupils into separate groups to determine whether or not they grasp what is being taught. This study examines four videos on YouTube that Cassie Stephens created to demonstrate her lesson plan. It then compares several methods of instruction and discusses which approach is most effective in the classroom setting.
In the first video, Cassie explains to the children that the activity that she would be leading them in is art. She describes how extensive the area is and guarantees that the lesson will be easier to understand than it may initially seem. As part of their routine, the children are required to sanitize their hands, go down the corridor, knock on the door, and take a seat, all of which are instructions given to them by Cassie. Kids are taught to wave to one another or give each other an imaginary high five in place of the more conventional practice of hugging. After the kids have had a chance to settle in, they will have the opportunity to start by drawing a masterpiece, and then Cassie will choose one of the students to participate in an after-class drumming session.
In the second video, Cassie discusses the materials used in art class and some of the adjustments made since the covid epidemic. Children, for instance, are required to wear masks because of the symptoms associated with covid-19. Cassie also lends a hand when it comes to spraying the trays that hold the student materials that are used in several courses. In addition, Cassie has given every pupil a number, enabling them to sit close to one another. Since there are too many students to be effectively handled when seated at their desks, Cassie has also implemented a demonstration area that requires pupils to sit on the floor. In the third video, Cassie demonstrates how to interact with students online during the COVID-19 epidemic and how to understand the feelings of the students. During her presentation, Cassie showed how art could be utilized to communicate with the children by having them construct a variety of expression masks. She also recommends coloring the artwork slowly and carefully to bring out the artwork’s superb craft. In the fifth and final video, Cassie offers advice on instructing children in kindergarten. One of the methods she uses to attract the student’s attention is to speak while simultaneously moving, to talk while simultaneously reacting, or to clear her throat to indicate that they should follow Cassie’s example.
Due to the high number of pupils in my class, it is sometimes necessary to divide them into smaller groups to facilitate effective and efficient student management. The usage of infographics and tablets, which make it simpler for students to recognize artwork and sketch or paint it in their drawing books, is something else that I would want to see used in educational institutions. The methods of instruction that Cassie has used in the past are unique in several respects. Cassie can connect with the children and teach them how to draw and color motivational drawings thanks to the first strategy used during the covid epidemic. As a result, the children’s attention is pulled to the activities. On the other hand, teaching art to students face-to-face relies on the students’ energy, which is then channeled into the instruction of the art class.
Cassie’s enthusiasm for painting is evident in the instructional films, tools, and classroom décor that she uses. She makes a connection with the kids, and as can be seen in the video as the pupils adhere to the standards that have been established, such as organizing themselves and taking part in the lesson.
