planning that determines what kind of action will be
taken and why, to ensure that your organisation is
working towards its concrete goals. Koontz and

Steps for Preparing a Lesson Plan
Below are six steps to guide you when you create your
first lesson plans. Each step is accompanied by a set of
questions meant to prompt reflection and aid you in
designing your teaching and learning activities.
(1) Outline Learning Objectives
→The first step is to determine what you want students
to learn and be able to do at the end of class. To help
you specify your objectives for student learning, answer
the following questions:
What is the topic of the lesson?
What do I want students to learn?
What do I want them to understand and be able to do
(2) Develop the Introduction
Now that you have your learning objectives in
order of their importance, design the specific
activities you will use to get students to
understand and apply what they have learned.
Because you will have a diverse budy of
students with different academic and personal
experiences, they may already be familiar with
the topic. That is why you might start with a
question or activity to gauge students"
knowledge of the subject or possibly, their
preconceived
notions about i
(3) Plan the Specific Learning Activities (The
Main Body of the Lesson)
→ Prepare several different ways of explaining the
material (real-life examples, analogies, visuals, etc.)
to catch the attention of more students and appeal
to different learning styles.

Go over the material covered in class
by summarizing main points of the
lesson
You can do this in a number of ways:
you can state the main points yourself
(Today we talked about...), you can ask
a student to help you summaries them,
or you can ask all students to write
down on a piece of paper they think
were the main points of the lesson.
You can review the students' answers to
(6) Time Management
•When you prepare your lesson plan, next to
each activity indicates how much time you
expect it will Take.
•Plan a few minutes at the end of class to
answer any remaining questions and to sum up
key points
•Plan an extra activity or discussion questions in
case you have time left
•Be ready to adjust your lesson plan to students
needs and focus on what seems to be more
productive rather than sticking to your original
