Writing a Lesson Plan that WORKS

APRIL 2013

But sometimes even the

“best” laid plan fails

Objective: to identify key points in planning a lesson that will help us create an effective

lesson plan

SMART Objectives

Why SMART Objectives?

objectives activities results

Objectives Basic Competency (Kompetensi Dasar)

Sample

Kompetensi Dasar: mendeskripsikan peran badan

usaha, termasuk koperasi, sebagai tempat berlangsungnya proses produksi dalam kaitannya

dengan pelaku ekonomi.

If you plan a lesson based on this KD as your objectives directly

This goal will be achieved within 3 meetings/3 lessons.

So, we need to set up different learning objectives for every meeting based on this KD.
