single, continuous session of formal instruction in a subject.
 A part of a book, an exercise, etc., that is assigned to a
student for study.
 Something from which a person learns or should learn; an
instructive example.

 To arrange a method or scheme beforehand
for(any work, enterprise or proceeding).
 A formal program for specified benefits, needs, etc.
 A scheme or method of acting, doing,

 A lesson plan is a teacher's detailed description of the course
of instruction for one class.
 A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class
instruction. Details will vary depending on the preference of
the teacher, subject being covered, and the need and/or
curiosity of students.
 A lesson plan is the instructor's road map of what students
need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the
class time

 All good teachers have some type of plan when they walk into their
classrooms. It can be as simple as a mental checklist or detailed two-
page typed lesson plan that follows a prescribed format.
 A lesson plan is an extremely useful tool that serves as a combination
guide, resource, and historical document reflecting our teaching
philosophy, student population, textbooks and importantly our goals
for our students.
 Deciding what to teach, in what order and for how much time are the
basic components of planning.
 This serves us as a map or checklist that guides us in knowing what we
want to do next; these sequences of activities remind us of the goals
and objectives of our lessons for our students.
 When creating a lesson, a teacher must consider the background of
the students, the objectives of the lesson, the skills to be taught, the
activities, the materials and texts, the time constraints and the
connections to previous and future lessons.

 Outline learning objectives- The first step is to determine what you
want students to learn and be able to do at the end class.
 Develop the introduction- To develop a creative introduction to the
topic to stimulate interest and encourage thinking.
 Planning of specific activities (main body of the lesson)- We need to
prepare several different ways of explaining the material (real-life-
examples/experiences, analogies, visuals etc.) to catch the attention
of more students and appeal to different learning styles.
 Plan to check for understanding- An important strategy that will
help you with time management is to anticipate students’ questions.
 Develop a conclusion and a preview- Go over the material in class
by summarizing the main points of the lesson.
