Every teacher should to be aware of it. A prepared and well formed lesson plan makes the class attractive.

1. Lesson plan
What? Why? How?
Dr. Hironmoy Roy
MD, MBA, DHM, FAIMER, MHPE
Sr. Asst. Professor (Anatomy)
Asst. Secretary to Govt. of WB
Department of Medical Education

2. What?
• A detailed plan drawn up by a teacher covering the
content & sequence of a lesson, in which the
learning will flow.
Mapping of a teaching session-
Content- what not to tell
AV aid- how to use it judiciously
Time- how to finish it

3. Why?
“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail”
- Benjamin Franklin

4. Helps the teacher
Helps the students
Helps the assessors
Our target is not to cover the syllabus,
rather, to uncover it, so that the student
can discover it.

5. How?
1. Anticipatory set
2. Learning objective
3. Standards/ expectations
4. Input
5. Guided practice
6. Closure
7. Independent practice

6. Anticipatory set
The Hook
A short and prompt activities that attracts the learners’
attention, before the session starts.
Display the learning objective
Provide the flow of the session. The learner also get known
regarding the direction of assessment.

7. Describe the expectations/ Standard
Must know/ should know/ could know
Give the Input [Body of teaching]
The teacher gives the input, builds up the concept, use the
AV aid properly and judiciously
No need to vomit everything……just motivate them
It is not the show of the teacher’s knowledge

8. Check understanding & monitoring
(dependent practice)
Make multi-level questioning mainly targeting the higher
levels of Bloom’s taxonomy (Reasoning zone); and adjust
teaching as needed. The teacher must motivate each learner
to practice the desired outcome. The faults will be made as
immediate feedback, so then the learner can correct himself.
It may need to total re-teaching.

9. Closure
Summarize the entire topic at the end of the session, so that
a learner can build up a coherent picture with NO confusion
and/or frustration on the matter. Reinforce the main points.
Independent learning
Impose team-making, projects on the topic; encourage
creativity; so that a learner thinks “beyond the book”.
