Website Evaluation

Website title LessonWriter.com

Website URL http://lessonwriter.com/html/index.asp

For English teachers.

The new Web site that creates lesson plans for teaching English language skills. It can save hours of work and, best of all, it's free. LessonWriter.com, you can copy any text you want from any source: from a Web page, from a Word document, a pdf file, you can write your own. You paste it into a Web page and Lesson Writer does a linguistic analysis of the text, and it creates a complete student worksheet and teacher lesson plan in about one minute." It goes through all the words in the article, identifies dominant phonemes and then suggests pronunciation exercises to accompany the lesson plan. As we have had article by Guariento and Morley 2001 that they are highly emphasized on authentic material. I always liked to use authentic materials in the classroom. I found myself teaching different students that had different interests. I wanted to find things that motivated my students and I can choose new material for my class that can motivate the students. It was difficult to teach things that were [from] now or that my students were asking for. You can sign in and start making lesson plan. IF you want to learn more click to demo movie it gives information you need.

Hello Mustafa,

I heard some one recommended this website. It is really a good resource for teachers.

Are we in the L500 class last semester?

Hi Mustafa,
I really like the website you introduced. This website really are helpful for the teacher, safe the time, and makes the work easy. However, I think the lesson plans created by this site would not be as sufficient as to meet a multi-approach requirements.
