So basically, lesson plan serves as a roadmap for teachers. When we say roadmap, it is a plan, a strategy or
a blueprint, that teachers follow as a guide towards a goal. Also it is a systematic plan meaning it requires a
step by step process to achieve a goal or objective. So there are different types of lesson plan, we have the
daily lesson log/plan which will be our focus today, we have detailed lesson plan, semi-detailed lesson plan
that has different formats but have the same basic parts. So what are those basic parts? So lesson plans
generally consist of essential components or the basic parts such as the objectives, subject matter, content,
learning resources, values integration, procedures and assignment.

So as we go through this lesson, we will also learn the key components to a successful lesson plan. So what
are these key components that plays an important role in making a successful lesson plan? So first, we have
the learning objectives – the most important part of a lesson plan that states what students will know or be
able to do at the end of the lesson. Second, we have learning activities that is designed to create the
conditions for learning. And lastly, we have the assessment or evaluation to check for students understanding
of the lesson.
