Introduction
This assignment has been designed to plan and produce a twelve week scheme of work in association with Unit 1: BTEC ND e-Media Production course. The course is designed to develop learners' skills and knowledge in reading, analysing and deconstructing of e-media.
Reece and Walker (2000) discuss, there are several building blocks to be considered when planning for effective learning. I will discuss the sections of the planning process that need to be considered planning for a lesson.
Lesson content and building blocks of lesson planning.
The methodology of Teaching and learning.
The theories of learning and what influences planning.
Assessment through the use of a self-evaluation pro-forma.
Motivational and Equal Opportunities issues.
Self Evaluation.
