Reflection:
Although writing lesson plans are often viewed as tedious and time consuming, and in some minds, a waste of time, I actually find them extremely helpful. I am the type of person, and eventual teacher, that likes things planned out ahead of time so I know exactly what I want to do and when I want to it. Lesson plans help this because it allows you to plan activities for the entire class, but also allows you to add in alternate activities for students with special needs if need be.
