1. Introduction :
An important aspect of teaching is preparing lesson plans in advance. There are
many components to a successful lesson plan, such as having a clear objective,
knowing what materials you're going to need and how you plan on assessing students
after the lesson. Understanding different lesson plan components can help you plan a
lesson that is enriching to your students and provides them with opportunities for
success. In this article, we discuss what a lesson plan is, six components of a lesson
plan, the benefits of using one in the classroom and some lesson planning tips.

1. Objectives
This is possibly the most important out of the parts of a lesson plan, they are the
reason the lesson exists and should drive the activities. It is realistically the first thing a
teacher should do, giving the whole lesson a statement of purpose. Objectives should
answer what students will be capable of doing by the end of the lesson, this is what
teachers should start with. They may include things such as explain, create, define or
use as just a few examples.
Often objectives use SMART criteria, they should be specific, measurable, attainable,
relevant and time-based.
The aims you look at should be specific enough to be achieved in that particular lesson,
even if the lesson works towards a greater overarching aim.
2. Subject matter
The subject matter includes the specific topic and how that relates back to the National
Curriculum.
3.Materials
If you prepare the materials ahead of the lesson, you may have more time to
focus on teaching. You may choose to format the material component of a lesson
plan by creating bullet points for each material you and the students might need
during the lesson. Here are some materials typically used during a lesson that you
can consider adding to your list:
Textbook
Pen or pencil
Lined paper
Printed copies of worksheets
Markers
Scissors
Calculators
Tablets
Laptops
3. Procedure
The procedure makes up the body of the plan, it is an explanation of how the lesson will
progress step-by-step.
For detailed plans, this includes the expected routines, the activities that will go on and
the questions and answers. For semi-detailed, this is more about the procedures or
steps and the methods that teachers will use to get there.
4. Evaluation
Evaluation is where teachers weigh up how well children understand what they've been
in that lesson, this may be as simple as some multiple-choice questions or a formative
test. Teachers will then want to look at the proportion of class who got the answers
right.
