What is a Lesson Plan?

tool), or for presenting content matter to students. If the Lesson Plan is to be shared with students, it can be used to
help them understand the intended result of their learning and prepare them for the content ahead. Lesson Plans can
include multiple components, such as a variety of guided sections, instructional objectives, and content-matter
