LESSON PLAN

AMITO PRUDENCE(BSM)
introduction
• Persons that plan for the future are those that are sure of their
objectives. That is why in education to plan a lesson is extremely
necessary
• LESSON PLAN is define as a source or tool that guides teachers through
their working learning process.
• It is imperative for a teacher to plan his/her lessons since this has the
content, method, activity, practice and material the teacher will use in
the development of the class
• Teachers that do not use a lesson plan usually mislead the learning
process.
• A lesson plan is guided by objectives that the students will assimilate,
learn and perform. It can also serve as “a usefull in-lesson reminder to
you of your pre-lesson thought
 Intro cont’
• To write a lesson plan takes time. The activities included are well
organized to assure the students learning.
• The practice included in the lesson plan is properly order from the
easiest to the most difficult task.
• Some EFL teachers recommend ordering the activities from controlled,
semi controlled and free practice.
• Each of this practices are divided in: listening controlled practice,
speaking controlled practice, reading controlled practice, and writing
controlled practice; listening semi controlled practice, speaking semi
controlled practice, reading semi controlled practice, and writing semi
controlled practice;
• Finally we have free listening practice, free speaking practice, free
reading practice, and free writing practice.
Reasons for lesson plan
1. To force the teacher to examine the relationship among the steps of
the teaching process to ensure a logical approach to teaching,
which can serve as a map for organizing and keeping instruction on
target.
2. To communicate in writing and in an outline format exactly what is
being taught, how it is being taught and evaluated, and the time
allotted for accomplishment of the behavioral objectives. As such,
not only is the learner aware of and can follow the action plan, but,
just as importantly, other healthcare team members are informed
and can contribute to the teaching effort with a consistent
approach.
3. To legally document that an individual plan for each learner is in
place and is being properly implemented. Also, the existence of current
teaching plans is essential evidence required by healthcare agencies
and organizations to satisfy mandates for institutional accreditation.
Basic parts of lesson plan
A complete lesson plan consist of:
1. The purpose
2. A statement of the overall goal
3. A list of objectives (and subobjectives, if necessary)
4. An outline of the related content
5. The instructional method(s) used for teaching the related content
6. The time allotted for the teaching of each objective
7. The instructional resources (materials/tools) needed
8. The method(s) used to evaluate learning
• Purpose: To provide the client with the information necessary for
monitoring blood glucose.
• Goal: The client will demonstrate the ability to test for blood glucose
on a regular basis.
• Objective: Following a 20-minute teaching session, the client will be
able to use a reagent strip, Chemstrip bG, to determine blood glucose
level with 100% accuracy.
• Subobjective: The client will be able to assemble all equipment
necessary to test for blood glucose using a reagent strip without
assistance.
PARTS OF A LESSON PLAN
1. When beginning to write a lesson plan it is important to write the
generalities which include: the name of the institution, the name of
the subject, the level, date, and the teacher’s name.
2. After the generalities you may consider writing down the unit
number, content, and target structure.
3. The objectives go in infinitive form and always end with an adverb.
You can include a general objective and specific objectives. It is
advisable to include just one general objective since it takes time
and hard work to achieve it.
4 Timing is very important. You must include the estimate time that
the lesson plan will last. At the University of El Salvador it is timed for a
session of ten hours approximately.
5. Now you may think in the material you will need. Write down in
details every single thing needed to develop the activities included in
the lesson plan.
6. The warm up is very important to break the ice and to have student
get familiar with the topic. Remember that this section must be well
related with the content you will teach. It can last around 5, 10 or 15
minutes. As follows you will find examples of warm ups and fillers you
may use. Remember that to do so you must take into account students’
the age, sex, religion, believes and English level.
7. The grammar, grammar notes or explanations of the content are
given in this section. Do not extend the explanation; just go straight to
the point with the necessary information the students need to manage
the topic well. This section may last between 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes
maximum.
8. The practice starts here. Start with the controlled practice(dictation,
reading, content explanation), continue with the semi-
controlled(brainstorming, information exchange) and end with the free
practice(role play, problem solving, debate, discussions)
