Teacher Students
Lesson Activities:
Rationale: Why are you teaching this particular lesson (e.g. is it part of a complex skill? Is
it an essential prereading skill in reading? Is it important that the students hear good
literature?) The rationale should be a brief sentence or two and stated in words that can
be easily understood by the learners in the classroom.
Prescribed Learning Outcomes: Your lesson should state one or more prescribed
learning outcomes, on which the objectives of this specific lesson are based.
Instructional Objective(s): What are the specific things students will be able to do as a
result of this lesson? These objectives should be consistent with your stated prescribed
learning outcome(s) (e.g. the students will be able to identify the main idea in the story. The
student will be able to describe the main idea in a paragraph of four sentences). The
objectives may also include things the teacher wants to observe in the course of the lesson
(e.g. to identify the potential leaders in group discussion). Students should ensure that the
instructional objectives are measured by your assessment and evaluation strategies.
Prerequisite Concepts and Skills: This section of your lesson plan is used to state the
concepts and skills needed to connect lessons together in a logical sequence, building new
knowledge onto what you know students have previously learned. Remember that some
concepts and skills may need to be reviewed to ensure continuous learning, and these can
be included here.
Materials and Resources: List all materials and resources that you and the students will
need. What things do you need to do before the lesson begins? (e.g. prepare a word chart.)
What things do the students need to do? (e.g. read a chapter in the novel.)
Lesson Activities: Describe what you and your students will do.
