DESIGNING
LESSON PLAN
CHLAREZ I. IMPUESTO
LESSON PLAN
• A lesson plan is the teacher’s road map of what students need to
learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time.
• A lesson plan provides the teachers with a general outline of their
teaching goals, learning objectives, and means to accomplish them.
3 KEY COMPONENTS OF A LESSON PLAN
• Learning Objectives
• Learning Activities
• Assessment
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• A learning objective describes what the learner will know or be able
to do after the learning experience
• it is written in a language that is easily understood by students
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Relevant
• Time-bounded
LEARNING ACTIVITIES
• When planning learning activities we should
consider the types of activities students will need
to engage in, in order to develop the skills and
knowledge required to demonstrate effective
learning
TYPES OF LEARNING ACTIVITIES
• Interaction with content
• Interaction with others
• Critical and problem-solving thinking
• Reflection
CREATE REALISTIC TIMELINE
• Estimate how much time each of the activities will take, then plan some extra
time for each
• When you prepare your lesson plan, next to each activity indicate 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 question in case you have time left
• Be flexible – 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 plan
PLAN FOR A LESSON CLOSURE
• Check for student understanding
• Emphasize key information
• Correct students’ misunderstandings
• Preview upcoming topics
PRESENTING THE LESSON PLAN
• Let the learners know what they will be learning and
doing during the class
• Encourage interactive learning
STRATEGIES TO DELIVER AN EFFECTIVE AND
INTERACTIVE LESSON
• Avoid text-heavy slides
• Choose examples carefully
• Use varied multimedia and technology
• Create opportunities for students to discuss and peer-teach
each other
REFLECTING ON YOUR LESSON PLAN
• Take a few minutes after each class to reflect on what worked well
and why, and what you could have done differently.
