PLANNING
 LET`S BRAINSTORM

What do we need the lesson plan for?

1.It’s a proposal for action.

2.It gives an idea of what the learning outcome should be.
3.It is flexible, includes magic moments.
4.It contains a blend of coherence (logical pattern) and variety.
 Introduction

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. Before
you plan your lesson, you will first need to
identify the learning objectives for the class
meeting.

WHAT IS A LESSON
PLAANING?
A lesson plan is a teacher's daily guide for
what students need to learn, how it will be
taught, and how learning will be measured.
 IMPORTANCE OF
LESSON PLANNING
REASON WHY?
1. It gives a bird’s eye of view of things to be taught and learned everyday.

2. It makes you organized whilst teaching.

3. It provides the teacher many ways to keep the teaching process not monotonous
and redundant.

4. It gives teacher a reality check of his everyday performance.

5. It definitely improves teaching skills.

PURPOSE

•structure the lesson

•organize its contents/materials
•determine method of its delivery
•assess students’ learning
•evaluate its application/effectiveness
MAJOR ELEMENTS

•Educational Objectives
•Content and Appropriate Teaching
Activities
•Preparation of all the Material
•Monitoring & Assessing Learning
 MUST HAVE OF THE LESSON.....
• Description of the students •
• Aims and objectives •
• Procedures •
• Timing •
• Anticipated problems (difficulties to arise, e.g.
computer fails, activity is difficult…) •
• Extra activities/material (just in case) •
• Material to be used in the lesson •
• Language of the lesson

 LESSON PLANNING

• We need to think about: LESSON STAGES

• IAMS: SMART Specific, Measurable
Achievable, Realistic Timed. •
• CLASS PROFILE
 WHAT ARE?
AIMS/OBJECTIVES/GOALS
GOAL
1- Goal - is something that you hope to achieve in the future; •

AIM
2.Aim - IS something you hope to achieve by doing something; •

OBJECTIVE
3-Objective - something that you are trying hard to
achieve, especially in business or politics.”

 AIMS
Long-term can refer to whole course or series of lessons
 How to choose your lesson aims ?
Your ultimate guide is your students. What do they most need to know? It
may not be what the course book says they should learn next
How to write your lesson aims
lesson plan aims should be started with ‘By the end of the lesson, learners will be
better able to…’
This allows every learner to achieve the lesson’s aim. If you write ‘the learners will
be able to…’ then one of two things will happen:
1.Every learner will achieve the goal (hurrah!), but that almost certainly means it
was too easy for most learners (boo!)
2.The weaker learners will be left behind and not achieve the goal. Even the
stronger learners may not be able to achieve it consistently. Leading to you
feeling like you failed.

So start by using ‘will be better able to…

 OBJECTIVES
For lessons (steps to achieve) Main objectives best formulated in terms of
learner performance: By the end of the lesson, Ss, Ls…
• will be able to…
• will be more aware of…
• will have developed their ability to…
• will have revised…
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Setting Objectives
What will the learner be able to:
•Know (concept…cognitive)
•Do (skill… psychomotor)
•Feel (behavior, attitude, appreciation or ideas…affective)
Each defined objective is matched with:
•Teaching Method
•Learning Activities
•Type of Assessment
Note: Relevance is the essential quality of the educational
objectives
S.M.A.R.T OBJECTIVES

S FOR
• What needs to be accomplished?
SPECIFIC
• Who’s responsible for it?
• What steps need to be taken to achieve it?

M FOR
Specificity is a solid start,makes it easier to track progress and k
MEASURABLE
now when you’ve reached the finish line.

A FOR ATTAINABLE/ACHEIVABLE
Goals should be realistic – not pedestals from which you inevitably
tumble. Ask yourself: is your objective something your team can re
asonably accomplish?
S.M.A.R.T
OBJECTIVES

R FOR REALISTIC /
Here’s where you need to think about the big picture. Why

are you setting the goal that you’re setting?

T FOR TIME
What’s
BOUND your time horizon? When will the team start creating
and implementing the tasks they’ve identified? When will the
y finish?
 CLASS PROFILE

• A class description tells us who the students are;

• what can be expected of them.
• It can give information about how the group and the individuals in it
behave.
 PROCEDURES

• PPP - Presentation, Practice and Production

• CLT - Communicative Language Teaching
• TBL – task-based learning
• ESA - Engage, Study, Activate

 ADVANTAGES OF A LESSON PLAN

•a key to the target.

•saves time.
•makes the work regular & organized.
•induces confidence.
•promotes learning.
•improves results.

 TIP

The clearer the structure of a lesson and the more precise the
directions on what is to be accomplished, the higher the
achievement rate.
 FIVE LEVELS OF A LESSON PLAN
1.Daily planning … (Teacher)
2. Weekly planning… (Teachers-individually as well
as in groups)
3. Unit planning … (Teachers’ Group /Coordination)
4.Term planning … Yearly planning
 WRITING A LESSON PLAN

• Components of a lesson plan:

• Topic
• Resources
• Objectives
• Methodology
• Activity
• Homework
 WRITING A LESSON PLAN

• Methodology - Specify Timings of each of these steps: (40/80

minutes)
• •Settling time
• •Introduction
• •Previous Knowledge
• •Presentation – Brainstorming / Discussion / teacher’s Input
• •Practice (Students output) – CW. Oral / Written
• •Home Work
• •Assessment – Test / worksheets
