My Learning Lesson Plan for 11th Grade Example Students

Topic: my learning

Objectives & Outcomes

• By the end of this lesson, students will be able to understand their own learning style and strategies and be able to apply them in different learning situations.

Materials

• Chart paper and markers
• Handouts with information about the different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, cognitive) and strategies (mapping, brainstorming, mind mapping, etc.)
• Access to a computer with a word processing program or a writing tool (e.g. Google Docs, Word, Pages)

Warm-up

• Ask students to take a few minutes to think about a recent school or homework assignment that they found challenging.
• Then, have students share their thoughts with a partner.
• After a few minutes of sharing, have a few volunteers share their discussions aloud with the class.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of learning styles and how they can affect academic performance.
• Using the handout, go over the different learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and give examples of how each can be helpful in learning.
• Emphasize the importance of recognizing our own learning styles and learning how to best use them to our advantage.

Guided Practice

• Divide the class into small groups and give each group a set of questions related to the content being learned.
• Have each group work together to come up with the answers, using their different learning styles to their advantage.
• Once all the groups have finished, have them share their answers with the rest of the class and discuss any differences or similarities in how they approached the questions.
• Encourage students to share any insights they gained about their own learning styles and how they can apply that knowledge in their future studies.

Independent Practice

• Give each student a set of learning styles tests to complete on their own.
• Encourage them to think about how their different learning styles impact their study habits and approach to learning.
• Allow students to work at their own pace and provide support as needed.

Closure

• Review the main points of the lesson, including the different learning styles and how they can affect study habits and approach to learning.
• Ask students to reflect on their own learning styles and how they can use this knowledge to better meet their own learning needs.

Assessment

• Evaluation of the student's participation in the group activity and their reflection on their own learning styles.
