Designing Lesson Plan before Teaching the Class

The results of Cycle I gave us pictures of the actions in Cycle II. There were some actions repeated in order to solve the existing problems and to get satisfied outcomes.

a. The concept of Course Grid and Lesson Plan 1

Designing the Course Grid From the discussion between the English teacher and the researcher, standard competency 11 and the basic competency 11.2 were chosen in Cycle I and II. So the activities were designed to continue the activities in the Cycle I. It is used to make sure that the students had achieved the goal of the teaching-learning activities. The standard competency 11 is about understanding the meaning of short essay in the form of recount, and narrative to interact with environment. The basic competency 11.2 is about responding the meaning and rhetorical steps in simple essay accurately, fluently, and appropriately related to environment in the form of recount and narrative. From the competency, materials, media and activities were designed. Before the application of the course grid, the course grid was discussed with the English teacher and supervisor. The course grid can be seen followed. The full course grid can be seen in the appendix 3.
