The artefact I have chosen to show my achievement in this module is the lesson plan (Appendix 1) of my final teach from my micro teaching experience in this module. The reason I have chosen this artefact is because I believe throughout the semester I have really developed my skills in writing lesson plans. This lesson plan was the strongest I believe.

Lesson planning is very important in a lesson; it allows you to cater for the needs of your students while it also gives you a structure to work off of while teaching it. Kyriacou states that a lesson plan enables you to think clearly and specifically about the type of learning you wish to occur in a particular lesson. (Kyriacou, 2007) From this and looking back on my lesson plan I did think clear enough about my final lesson plan before doing it. I have discovered from getting guided by my tutor throughout the semester I
