Benlac Lesson 7
The key to good teaching, purposeful class management and the achievement of sustained educational
progress lies in effective preparation and planning (Butt, 2008).
Consistent effective lesson planning is essential for successful experiences in both the teaching and
learning process (Serdyukov and Ryan, 2008).
1. Preparation
• Who is to be taught?
• By knowing the learners, the desired outcome can be determined, and the teacher can identify the
purpose of the lesson.
2. Development
• What is to be taught?
• This stage covers the substance of the lesson, such as subject matter, instructional goals, specific
learning objectives, concepts, and skills.
• An effective activity or lesson plan begins with a specific objective.
Bloom’s taxonomy provides good examples of appropriate action words to use in learning objectives. With this,
the learning objective becomes student-focused and outcomes-oriented.
3. Implementation
• How do you teach students?
• Methods or strategies employed
• Learning activities and methodological approach
• Materials and technology applications
4. Reflection
• Is my lesson plan effective?
• The teacher evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson plan before implementing it and
after it has been delivered.
2. Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan — This plan includes the key components of a detailed plan but provides less
detail on student activities (Beltran, 1992). It focuses on the important subject matter and a description of
teaching-learning activities.
3. Brief Lesson Plan — This plan offers only guiding statements or brief explanations of the activities.
A good lesson plan should be clear, flexible, and well-documented. It serves as a guide for instruction and
a record for evaluating performance and improving the curriculum.
V. Notes on Lesson Planning
• Lesson planning is integral to the teaching-learning process.
• It encourages thoughtful lesson, maximizing learning opportunities.
• Lesson plans don't always need excessive detail.
• The planning process can be internalized.
