1. Lesson Objectives

The first step in creating a lesson plan is to figure out your objectives. The objectives are what you want your students to know and how to do it at the end of the lesson. To obtain your objectives you can refer back to the curriculum set in your school. Make sure the objectives are measurable and easily assessed by teachers and achievable for all students. When you write the objectives, they should be written clearly without unnecessary jargon.

2. Learning Requirements

Include lesson requirements in the lesson plan to let students understand why they are learning the lessons being taught to them and how can they make the connections across topics. So when you create the lesson requirements, you are involving your students in the planning process.

3. Lesson Materials

There are a lot of resources or materials that will aid you in planning your lessons. Some examples of these are videos, presentations, worksheets, classroom games, etc. When you write your lesson materials in the lesson plan, lay out what you need and where you and your students can find them. Make sure the materials you use are relevant to the success of the students’ learnings.

4. Lesson Procedures

Lesson procedures determine what is going to happen in your classroom. This includes learning activities, independent practice, group work, and blended learning. Plan ways to help students warm up their skills to adjust learning to their lessons and practice it for themselves or to introduce a new topic to them.

5. Grading and Assessment Methodology

When you get to the end of your lesson, create techniques that help you assess the level of understanding of your students to wrap up your lesson. Some examples of assessing student knowledge are formative assessments, quizzes and exams, and quick class surveys. Include these materials in your lesson plan to help students understand what’s expected of them, and ensure you’re using curriculum-based measurements to truly assess learning.

6. Lesson Plan Outline

Once you’re done putting all the information needed for the lesson plan it’s time to build a lesson plan outline to help make the process smoother. Make a space to add in your learning objectives, materials, and methods. If you need to add a page, you can do so as long as each section has enough space for its information. Add space at the end of the lesson plan to record your observations after the lesson so you can use the information to make the next plan better.
