Week 3 Reflection #4

Write about the similarities and the differences processes of the authors and the processes you use to develop lesson plans.
Instructional design and my lessons both have clearly stated objectives. Both have some type of assessment and reteaching as necessary. But instructional design is much more detailed and structured than my lesson plans. Formative assessment in my lesson plan can sway the natural direction of the lesson more easily. ID seems to be much more rigid in its approach to teaching, at first glance. But really the tight structure of its components leave the learner free to arrive at the goal or objective in creative and open-ended ways.
