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. Then, you can design appropriate learning activities and develop
strategies to obtain feedback on student learning. Having a carefully constructed lesson plan for each 3-
hour lesson allows you to enter the classroom with more confidence and maximizes your chance of
having a meaningful learning experience with your students.
A successful lesson plan addresses and integrates three key components:

Learning Objectives

Learning activities

Assessment to check for student understanding

A lesson plan provides you with a general outline of your teaching goals, learning objectives, and
means to accomplish them, and is by no means exhaustive. A productive lesson is not one in which
everything goes exactly as planned, but one in which both students and instructor learn from each other.

All good lesson plans contain specific components or steps, and all essentially derive from the seven-step
method developed by Madeline Hunter, a UCLA professor and education author. The Hunter Method,
as it came to be called, includes these elements: objective/purpose, anticipatory set, input
modeling/modeled practice, check for understanding, guided practice, independent practice, and
closure.

Good lesson planning is essential to the process of teaching and learning. A teacher who is prepared is well
on his/her way to a successful instructional experience. The development of interesting lessons takes a
great deal of time and effort. As a new teacher you must be committed to spending the necessary time
in this endeavor.

A lesson plan does not necessarily have to be a detailed script that contains the plan of every interaction
with students in the classroom. It should preferably have the general overview of the aims and objectives
of the course, the plan of teaching and learning activities of the course and the activities planned to check
the students’ understanding. The driving force behind lesson planning is the motivation for the teacher and
hunger to learn more by students is what keeps a teacher going.

Types of Lesson Plan

A detailed lesson plan is a thorough description of a teacher's instructions for a particular class. A
teacher usually makes a daily lesson plan to teach a specific course of instructions. The sole purpose of a
detailed lesson plan is to outline the program for a lesson in simple details, which will include the lesson's
objective, how the objective is going to be achieved and a way of testing how well the objective was
received by the students. If a teacher plans on delivering more than one lesson in one class, he or she can
divide the material into multiple lesson plans. It is highly recommended to follow a standardized format to
make certain that all the aspect of a lesson are covered.

Detailed Lesson plan

It provides mastery of what to teach, and gives the teacher the confidence when teaching. In this plan,
both teacher’s and students’ activities are presented. In detailed lesson plan, the expected routines, lesson
proper, activities are presented. Questions and answers are written.
Semi-detailed Lesson Plan
A semi-detailed lesson plan 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. In semi-detailed lesson plan has
only contains procedures or steps to be used in the lesson proper.
Understanding by Design (UbD)
It is a framework for improving student achievement through standards-driven curriculum
development, instructional design, assessment and professional development ( Wiggins & McTighe, 2006)
The emphasis of UbD is on "backward design", the practice of looking at the outcomes in order to
design curriculum units, performance assessments, and classroom instruction

Parts of Lesson Plan

There are five parts of detailed and semi- detailed lesson plans: Objectives, Subject matter Procedure,
Evaluation and Assignment
Objectives
The first thing a teacher does is create an objective, 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 day’s lesson, as it will determine the activities the students engage in.
Subject matter
Subject matter or specific topic includes sources of information, e.g., textbooks and library references.
The subject matter includes the following: Topic – particular lesson Reference/s – usually from the
book and internet websites. Materials – refer to objects or tools that serve as instructional aids for
particular subject.

Procedure
The 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.

Evaluation
It can take the form of formative test consisting of a 10-item multiple choice questions after the
day’s lesson to determine the mastery of learning.
Assignment
It includes questions, exercises, and/or a set of practice specified by the teacher. In order to
succeed in discussing the assignment for the following day, a teacher give focused/specific questions
for students to answer.
