The lesson plan is for a 12th grade writing workshop class. The students will read the essay "The Hazards of Movie Going" and identify the introduction, thesis statement, body, topic sentences, supporting ideas, and conclusion by exploring the patterns in the essay. They will then classify these patterns orally. The goal is for students to contemplate the essay with a new level of appreciation and develop their creative writing skills. Materials include textbooks, a handout of the essay, and the whiteboard. The teacher will greet students, review parts of an essay, have students read and analyze the example essay, and lead a closing discussion. Assessment will include an anecdotal record and group discussion. Homework is not assigned

XII. Teacher’s Reflections (material, method, and objectives):
Today’s objectives took place effectively. Still, the students did not want to
participate. Almost all students lowered their heads. It was Friday, what was to
expect? Nonetheless, they were supposed to participate in class.
I believe I need more techniques in order to promote class participation. Even though
students are like this, I have to look for a way to really do things right. I would change
the way I do things, but first I must learned how.
