WHY PLANNING?

Planning helps you to reduce uncertainty or panic and gives you

confidence and clarity.

It reminds you to prepare materials beforehand, and makes it easier for

you to organize the time and activities flow in classes.

For students, evidence of a plan shows them the teacher has devoted
time to thinking about the class.

It is a way to help gain the respect of your students.

It suggests professionalism and commitment.

Planning ensures that the class you are teaching gets a balanced
mixture of different materials, content and interaction types.

Planning helps you to develop a personal style.

TYPES OF LESSON PLAN

Detailed lesson plan It provides mastery of what to teach, and gives the
teacher the confidence when teaching. In this plan, both teachers and
students activities are presented.
Semi-detailed lesson is less intricate than the detailed lesson plan. It is
having a general game plan of what you wanted to cover for that subject on
that particular day.

PARTS OF LESSON PLAN

Objectives a statement of purpose for the whole lesson. An objective
statement itself should answer what students will be able to do by the end of
the lesson.
The objective drives the whole lesson, it is the reason the lesson exists. Care
is taken when creating the objective for each days lesson, as it will
determine the activities the students engage in.
Subject matter or specific topic includes sources of information, e.g.,
textbooks and library references.
Procedure is the body of your lesson plan, the ways in which you'll share
information with students and the methods you'll use to help them assume a
measure of mastery of that material.
In detailed lesson plan, the expected routines, lesson proper, activities are
presented. Questions and answers are written. In semi-detailed lesson plan

has only contains procedures or steps to be used in the lesson proper.

Evaluation it can take the form of formative test consisting of a 10-item
multiple choice questions after the days lesson to determine the mastery of
learning, e.g., 95% of the class got 100% correct answers.
Assignment it includes questions, exercises, and/or a set of practice specified
by the teacher.
