Q. What about lesson plans with the Invisibles?
A. The Invisibles approach is really a sequence of activities so nothing can be planned out. We just follow the sequence for building stories and for reading. We open our teaching selves to see what happens in each activity, and it is different in each class. This is immensely freeing to us. The lesson doesn’t tie us down and we are free to focus on natural and authentic human communication. We are free to converse! The lesson is not as important as our relationship with the kids. Besides, writing out a lesson plan is like a surgeon writing out a plan for an operation she is going to do that day and giving it to a hospital administrator who has never had a day of medical training.
