A Lesson PlanA 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.

Components of a Lesson PlanTo identify the learning objectives for the class meeting and for student learning.

To design appropriate teaching/learning activitiesTo develop strategies to obtain feedback on student learning and to check students understanding.

LESSON PLAN

What do I want

students to learn?

What teaching and learning

activities will I use?

How will I check for

understanding?

Steps for preparing a Lesson Plan

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

What is the topic of the

lesson?

What do I want students

to learn?

What do I want them to understand and be able to do at

the end of class?

What do I want them to take

away from this particular

lesson?

Develop the introduction

• How will I check students know anything about the topic?

• What ideas do students have about the topic?

• What will I do to introduce the topic?

Plan the specific learning activities (the main body of the lesson)

• What will I do to explain the topic?

• What will I do to illustrate the topic in a different way?

• How can I engage students in the topic?

• What are some relevant real-life examples, analogies, or

situations that can help students understand the topic?

• What will students need to do to help them understand the topic better?

To check understanding

• What questions will I ask students to check for

understanding?

• What will I have students do to demonstrate that they

are following?

• What activity can I use with the students to check if

they reached the objectives?

Develop a conclusion and a previewState the main points and ask a student to help you

summarize them.

Ask all students to write down on a piece of paper what they think about the

lesson.

Review the students’ answers to evaluate their

understanding of the topic

Explain anything unclear

Conclude the lesson (summarize the main points

and preview the next lesson.)

Evaluation

Class Stages: Closure/Wrap-up

It is a quick review, to remind students what it was that they have learned (or should have learned) and allows you to see where the students are to assist you in planning for the next lesson.

Class Stages: Closure/Wrap-upIs an opportunity for formative assessment and

helps the teacher decide:

If additional practice is

neededIf it necessary to

re-teach

whether you can move on to the next part of

the lesson

A lesson closing Must…

lesson

Give students opportunities to draw conclusions from the

lesson

Describe when the students can use this

new information

Preview future lessons

Demonstrate student’s problem-
