Boredom means you are not considering your audience and the purpose of teaching. “Planning begins by determining what students already know and what they need to understand and be able to do” (Alberta Education, 2003, p.5). However, it also depends on determining what students are expected to know and understand. Activities will always manifest to meet a goal. A writer does not find morals after he has finished writing, any more than a teacher should. Lessons should initially achieve progressive and clearly linked results; a general goal, not meaningless activities. If a student complains, it is likely the activity that is delaying learning, not the goal. “Children don’t go to school to do things; they go to school to learn things” (Wright, 2012, p.33); the activity can be modified while still providing students with the skills needed to continue learning. You can't plan the types of reactions students will give you, but you can plan the goals students will respond to.
