Preparing Lesson Plan

Have you ever hear about a lesson plan? If not, don't worry in today's session we learnt all about lesson planning.

A lesson plan is a teacher’s detailed description of the course of instruction or
‘learning trajectory’ for a lesson. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class
learning. Details may vary depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being
covered, and the needs of the students. There may be requirements mandated by the
school system regarding the plan. A lesson plan is the teacher’s guide for running the
particular lesson, and it includes the goal( what the students are supposed to learn), how
the goal will be reached( the method, procedure) and a way of measuring how well the goal
was reached ( test, worksheets, homework etc.)

Explanations to assist in teaching/learning process

1.Objectives

•  Related to the concept(s) to be taught
• Must cover all domains written in behavioural terms.

2. Organization

• Organization of students, use of space, safety considerations, location of equipment, rules, students’ groupings and routines (for class management), etc. 
• This information may be in the form of diagrams, stick figures or other graphics. 

3. Introduction 

• Sets the tone for the lesson. 
• Provokes students' interest. 
• Helps to warm up muscle groups – safety. 
•  Encourage full participation. – Eliminations must be at a minimum (what is done after the student is eliminated is important for transfer)
• An introductory movement activity may serve as a warm-up, as a lead-in activity for the lesson or both. 

4.  Movement/Learning Experiences

• In relation to the objectives of the lesson. Include adaptations, extensions, refinements, challenges and applications. 
• Applications can involve previously learnt skills.
• Must be progressive in presentation – simple to complex, individual to group, without equipment to with equipment, static to dynamic, etc

5. Teaching Points/cues

• Facilitate the development of the learning of the skill/experience/knowledge of outcomes. – May include techniques, concepts, etc. (Focus of movement in the activity)Should be given to focus students not to frustrate/confuse. 

6. Closure 

• Review of the key points of the lesson stated in the objectives and emphasized throughout the lesson; why students are engaged in certain activities. May be in the form of questions-students' answers provide insights regarding the extent to which the lesson objectives have been attained.

That's the format in which is needed for a lesson plan, do you think you can do one now?
