Lesson Plans
"A
lesson plan is a
teacher's detailed description of the course of
instruction for one class. A daily lesson plan is
developed by a teacher to guide class instruction.
Details will vary depending on the preference of the
teacher, subject being covered, and the need and/or
curiosity of children. There may be requirements
mandated by the school system regarding the plan. A
well-developed lesson plan reflects the interests
and needs of students. It incorporates best
practices for the educational field. The lesson plan
correlates with the teacher's
philosophy of education, which is what the
teacher feels is the purpose of educating the
students. Secondary
English program lesson plans, for example,
usually center around four topics. They are
literary theme, elements of language and
composition,
literary history, and
literary genre. A broad, thematic lesson plan is
preferable, because it allows a teacher to create
various research, writing, speaking, and reading
assignments. It helps an instructor teach different
literature genres and incorporate videotapes, films,
and television programs. Also, it facilitates
teaching literature and English together. Similarly,
history lesson plans focus on content (historical
accuracy and background information), analytic
thinking,
scaffolding, and the practicality of lesson
structure and meeting of educational goals. School
requirements and a teacher's personal tastes, in
that order, determine the exact requirements for a
lesson plan. Unit plans follow much the same
format as a lesson plan, but cover an entire unit of
work, which may span several days or weeks. Modern
constructivist teaching styles may not require
individual lesson plans. The unit plan may include
specific objectives and timelines, but lesson plans
can be more fluid as they adapt to student needs and
learning styles."

the lesson clearly. 1. Using Bloom's Taxonomy
state whether the objective is psychomotor,
affective, cognitive or any combination. 2. Designate what
resources will be utilized. 3. Stipulate the time
frame for completion. 4. Include a copy of any
worksheet, quiz or test that will be used to
