1. The lesson plan is for a class of 11 trainees studying programmable logic controllers at the RCT College in Saudi Arabia. The lesson will cover counters up using a lecture, discussion, and group work format. 2. The objectives are for trainees to understand different types of counters, explain asynchronous and synchronous counters, draw output diagrams, and analyze counter construction. 3. The lesson will begin with an introduction on counters and pre-knowledge questions. Trainees will take notes and work individually, in pairs, and groups during explanations, exercises, and handouts on counters up.

1 Learning Condition:
1.1: Trainees:
They are 11 trainees in class and each trainee has at the General Certificate of
Secondary Education in the natural sciences.
The learning level of the students has major differences. Performers are Abdullah,
Ahmad and Hassan. They participate very actively in class. Their contributions to
teaching are good to very good. The work orders and homework get quickly accepted.
Also the presentation of results should be assessed positively. And as we can see that
the rate of the average scores of students in general good.
The class has experience and skill in the practice of group work, partner work and
individual work and have an experience in the technical field practice, and the age of
them between 22 to 25 and all students are together along well and collaborators, also
they have ability to understand the topic well, and this is one of the most important
points of interest that is found in students. And I will make discussion with them about
everything.
1.2: Classroom:
In this classroom number 4.205 in EL building. I will use the computer and the
Projector to explain the lesson. Also, I use some chairs and tables in this classroom to
make students taking notes and doing practical work together.
To make sure the classroom clean and equipment is working, so we must go early to
organize the chairs and clean the classroom.
The lesson affects the student's activity when the students make conversation and
write the answers on the task sheet and whiteboard.

1.3: College:
RCT College is one of the best technical colleges in KSA, and there are six
technical majors is one of the most important majors in our practical life. The duration
of the study where six terms to get Diploma Certificate. The number of students is also
where about 1,200 students and 80 teachers. And there are many classrooms and
workshops for each department to compare the theoretical and practical. And also
where the curriculum is clear and contains of the theoretical part and practical part.
2. Didactic Reflection:
2.1: curriculum analysis
This course is Programmable Logic Controllers [248 ELC]. The contact hours for
this course are 4 hours. The hours of lecture are 0 hours. The hours of workshop are 4
hours. In this course the trainees will study programmable logic controllers: its
construction, its programming and applications in industrial control processes. This
course aims to introduces the trainees to the basics of PLCs elements in industry and
its implementation, programming and practical applications in industry.
2.2:content analysis
The topic is about the Programmable Logic Controllers main, my lesson counters,
so that provide how you can make counter count from 0 to 10. Also how you can
build internal construction for counters. Also, how make counters count up and how
count from 0 to 8 also 0,2,4,6,8. Finally, the trainees must know the kinds of counter
and know the internal construction for counters and what is the function of counter
and where we use it.

2.3:Didactic analysis
The trainer starts the lesson with the inductive approach by asking the trainees
some questions that lead them to find the topic of the lesson. These question, in line
with the principle of motivation, will show the important of the topic . After that, we will
use the Vertical reduction by focus on one topic of our unit topics(counters).It has
(counters up and down, asynchronous, synchronous ). But chose one topic of all is
counters up. We make interesting lesson by body language, and write clearly answer
on the whiteboard, make group work to share information and knowledge and help
each other. We use the whiteboard with good drawing, Power Point Presentation.
And we will give trainees handouts, these handout include the most important
information of the topic, but they are not completed. So, the trainees will need to
completed these information by filling the gaps during the explanation. As a result,
this method will keep trainees busy during the lesson in line with the principle of self-
activity.
Finally, the trainees will make a summary by answering some questions that cover all
parts of the lesson. In this way, the trainers can get the feedback from trainees and
make sure that objectives of the lesson are achieved.
2.4:Methodology analysis
In this lesson I will use several methods such as; Lecture, Classroom conversation,
individual work, Partner work, Group work, Discovery . Lecture is the most method
using when I teach to students on the whiteboard if the teacher explain something step
by step, or smart board if the teacher show them PowerPoint presentation . Classroom
conversation should allow all students of class as well as the teacher himself to talk to
other, discussion students together with teacher. Individual work is students work
independently on the tasks. Partner work is working in pair where only tow students
work to solve tasks during the lesson. Group work by grouping three to six students to
solve tasks and discussion together. Discovery is the modern organization of work to
target the capacity to perform occupational tasks.

4:The principle in this lesson focused on…
 the classroom conversation to make the students more active.
 the individual work to measure the knowledge of the students, and to analysis if
my method success the lesson or not.
 the partner work is for the students to support each other and let them find out
the right answer according to what they understand.
 he lecture is a short to explain what needs to explain.
