5. 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 A lesson plan is an extremely useful tool that serves as a combination guide, resource, and historical document reflecting our teaching philosophy, student population, textbooks and importantly our goals for our students.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.

13. STRATEGY FOR EFFECTIVE LESSON PLAN

14. 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.
