Steps to Prepare a Micro Lesson Plan of Social Science on Reinforcement Skill
Reinforcement of learning increases the potential of learners. This can make the learning process perfect and easier. Teachers can apply this technique by taking certain steps in the teaching process. Students should be encouraged with praise, rewards, certificates, and funny and loving comments. Just as good comments and praise should be given for good work, students are also prevented from bad habits, unnecessary activities, and unwanted behavior Attempts are made to obstruct.

Model Micro-Teaching Lesson Plan for Skill of Reinforcement – Class 10 Social Science (Geography)
Micro-teaching is a part of B.Ed. course. As a B.Ed. trainee, you have to practice micro-teaching. Among the 10 major skills of micro-teaching, the skill of reinforcement is one of them. This skill is used to test the understanding of students and get feedback.
This model social science micro lesson plan for reinforcement skills will help you to understand how to properly use the components of this skill in the micro plan. The topic of this micro lesson plan is “Pollution” which is taken from the class 10 social science textbook.
The step-by-step process of making a geography micro plan for reinforcement skills is given below.
Identification of Data:
| Subject: Social Science Topic: Pollution Class: X | Teacher Trainee: Date: Time: 5 min |
Also Read: Skill of Introducing a Lesson in Social Science Micro Lesson Plan
Teaching Aids:
- General Teaching Aids: Blackboard, Chalk, Duster, Pointer.
- Specific Teaching Aids: N/A
Introduction:
| Step | Teacher’s Activities | Pupil’s Activities | Components |
| I N T R O D U C T I O N | The teacher will enter the classroom with a cheerful facial expression and wish the pupils. Then the teacher will write the topic on the blackboard as “POLLUTION” | Students will greet back to the teacher and note down the topic in their notebooks. |
Development:
| Step | Teacher’s Activities | Pupil’s Activities | Components |
| D E V E L O P M E N T | Then the teacher will say that we have learned about Pollution. Thus, we shall test the knowledge and understanding that we have acquired through the topic. Thereafter the teacher will ask the following questions: Q. What is pollution? (Teacher will say good/very good) Q. What do you mean by Pollutant? (The teacher will look at the students attentively.) Q. What are the different types of pollution? (The teacher will say “Yes” and appreciate the learner.) Q. Define air pollution? (The teacher will go and stand near the students.) Q. Give an example of an air pollutant. (The teacher will write the example on the board.) Q. What are the causes of air pollution? (The teacher will go near the students and give a touch to the students for the right answer.) Thereafter, the teacher will give two questions to answer to the students in the class. Then the teacher will check the answers of any students and ask the rest students to submit them after the class. (The teacher will appreciate the student whose work has been checked.) | Students will listen attentively to the teacher. Pupils are expected to answer as follows: (a) Presence or Introduction of harmful substances. (b) A substance that pollutes something. (c) Air, water, and soil pollution. (d) Introduction of harmful substances into the air. (d) Sulphur Dioxide (e) Industrialisation, Burning of Coal, etc. Students will answer the question given in the class. | Positive verbal Reinforcement Non-verbal cues Extra verbal cues Proximity Reinforcement Writing student’s answers on the blackboard Contact reinforcement Token Reinforcement |
Completion:
| Step | Teacher’s activities | Pupil’s Activities | Components |
| C O M P L E T I O N | Then the teacher will appreciate the learner for their attentive and cooperative behavior. Then the teacher will rub the blackboard before leaving the classroom. | The pupils will listen attentively to the teacher and will give thanks to the teacher. |
