     Some people think that lesson plans severely restrict teachers’ creativity. 

      Do you agree? Explain your answer.

On the other hand, I think that a lesson plan helps teachers foresee troubles. When planning a class, teachers keep in my mind not only the topic they have to teach, but the kinds of students they have in class.

We all are unique individuals, and as so, we all learn in different ways. There are people who learn best by listening, others by seeing and reading, while there are others that need to have their hands on the objects.

My learning style is a balance between visual, active and reflective. Being visual the dominant one. I have taken several tests online and at work. The results of my tests did not take me by surprise. 
I understand things better when reading from a text than when being told hoe to do them.

After taking a short questionnaire, I also found that I prefer to learn with visual aids, such as pictures and graphs. Visual learners remember best what they see--pictures, diagrams, flow charts, time lines, films, and demonstrations

At work I always try to use what makes me feel more comfortable when explaining a topic. That is why I always display lots of colorful posters, pictures, charts on the walls on the classroom. 
Also I resort to short video clips and other technological tools. As a teacher I need to be aware that my students do not learn in the same way and that I need to incorporate different strategies and activities to make them suitable for each and every one of my students.

At work we have been given seminars and workshops to incorporate the new technologies in our classroom, to understand and get to know about the different learning skills of the students we have in class
