3. WHEN SELECTING A LESSON PLAN
TEACHER MUST CONSIDER THE:
-Background of the students,
-The objectives of the lesson,
-The skills to be taught,
-The activities,
-Materials and text,
-Time Bound
-connections to previous and future
lessons.
Lesson plan will vary with the individual
preferences and experiences
4. Most lesson plans begin with a brief
description of the class and the
students
The time and date
Competency requirements and
published standards
List of grammatical structures and key
vocabulary terms
5. Teachers also find it wise to note what has
been covered during the previous class or
what students already know.
The day’s goal and objectives should be
included and the instructional materials
needed
Reminder on what to bring and prepare in
the class and the things need to return or to
be collected.
6. Objectives should also follow the
‘S.M.A.R.T rule’:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Result-oriented
• Time bound
7. LESSON’S CONTENT –this
includes the following:
Procedures or activities along with
transition notes
Time management
Seating arrangements
Teacher must know what may go
wrong and must provide action and
solutions.
8. Lessons usually begins with warm-up or
review activities.
Teacher need to connect the previous lesson
to the day’s lesson and how they want to
interest and motivate students for the days
activities.
Presentation and practice stages of the
lesson.
9. Into, through, beyond (Brinton, Goodwin,
and Ranks 1994);
-describes the language form of content is
introduced and presented
Engage, study, activate (Harmer 1998)
Lead-in, elicitation, explanation,
accurate reproduction, and immediate
creativity (Harmer 1998)
-comprehension is checked before a
guided practice is implemented
10. Verbalization, automatization and autonomy
(Ur 1996)
- some type of less structured,
communicative activity takes place for
students practice.
The communicative stage is used to connect
previous knowledge to new knowledge.
11. predict how
long a certain
activity will
take
It is important
to note the
number of
minutes
allotted for
each activity in
the margin of
12. Random pairs or rationale
groupings
Planning these seating
arrangements beforehand
helps the class run
smoothly and saves time.
13. For various activities should
also be noted in the lesson
plan.
Pre- planning pair and group
work seating arrangements
is more efficient than
standing in front of the class
and moving students around
randomly.
14. Teacher also need to anticipate where a
lesson may break down. Especially
when trying out a new activity or
teaching a grammar point.
This type of forethought is especially
important for lessons that rely on
technology or equipment that may fail
or may not be available as planned.
15. The final section of a lesson plan should
include the following:
-Comments or Notes such as:
1. review or summary of the lesson.
2. what needs to be covered during the next
class session or activity that need to be on
hold or teaching points to be covered
3. Unanswered Questions
-Homework
16. Bring lesson to an end
Review key points
Tie everything together
17. • Used to assess
students
knowledge
• Activities worked
or did not worked
• Students reactions
to the lesson
• Provides grades for
report cards
• Keeps parents
updated

Provides opportunities for students to practice new learning on their own.
The IP should match your Lesson Objective!
Provides opportunities to develop speed, accuracy and internalization of new information.
Should be meaningful- not busy work.
Strive for activities that require thinking, reasoning, organizing, creating, researching ….not just worksheet after worksheet.
Lesson Closure
Ask questions of the students to check for understanding.
•“Tell me what you’ve learned”
•“Explain what we’ve done so far”
•“What can you do now, that you couldn’t do before the lesson?”
Though a lesson may be continued when the class returns later in the week, there still needs to be a closure for each lesson.
Good closure includes:
Recalling the objective for the lesson
Reminding them of what was important
Previewing the next lesson
Directing students to the syllabus for assignments and deadlines
Not getting ‘caught by the bell’; saving time for your closure!!!
Student Performance: How did the students react to the lesson? Did they learn the material? How do you know?
Teacher performance: Reflect on how well you delivered instruction. What went well and what did not? Why? What would you change? What would you keep the same? Which parts of the lesson were confusing and/or not helpful for the students?
Describe your Classroom Management for this lesson plan. What management issues interfered with the lesson; what management issues supported the lesson. Give evidence. What needs to be changed?
