 NEED OF LESSON PLANNING
Lesson planning is beneficial for the teacher in many ways; such as:
• It helps in achieving goals and objectives, and same can be said on
the part of the students.
• It helps to get rid of problems or avoid them.
• It gives a reality check of everyday performance.
• It improves the habit and attitude of the students.
• It improves the teaching skills.
• It makes teaching ordinary and easy.
• It makes the teacher organized during teaching.
• Lesson planning determines when to include the interesting facts to
attract the students’ attention.
• It enables the teacher to impart the things the students can do at
the best of their
Process of lesson planning
First of all, a teacher need to identify the learning
objectives for the class, then design appropriate
learning activities and develop strategies to obtain
feedback on student learning. A successful lesson plan
addresses and integrates these three key components:
• Objectives for student learning
• Teaching/learning activities
• Strategies to check student
• understanding
Process of lesson planning
 Pre-Planning Stage
o What are my objectives for this class?
o Why is this material important?
o What content will be covered in the
particular/essential material for class?
o What will the students already know?
o What materials will be needed?
Designing a Lesson Plan (Pre-Planning)
i) Introduction
ii) Development
iii) Conclusion
iv) Ask for questions
v) Summarize the main points
and explain how they relate to the course
vi) Next lesson
vii) Recapitalize or one-minute
writing about the taught lesson
 The Post-Planning Stage
The teacher’s lesson planning process should take into
consideration the need to assess whether students
have learned? How effective the lesson was?
This assessment is not a complicated or difficult task. It
is very simple and informal. For instance, using part of
the class to let students work on problems you have
given them, or discuss issues and apply concepts, can
give you a good sense of what and how much they have
learned. The one-minute writing about the lesson or
homework problems can be similarly helpful.
 APPROACHES TO LESSON PLANNING
• 3-5 lesson objectives
• Content to be covered
• Activities (lecture, group work, problem-solving, etc.)
• Resources and materials needed (including technology)
• Timing
• Out of class work and assessment
The following classic lesson planning models are most popular in
lesson planning. These are:
• 1) Gagne’s frame work for instructional development
• 2) Hunter’s seven steps of lesson planning
• 3) The 5 E's lesson planning model
 Gagne’s frame work for instructional
development

i) Gaining attention:- Students attention is gained

towards the lesson. There are many ways to gain
students’ attention; such as teacher links the lesson
with the students’ previous knowledge, start from the
daily experiences of the students related to the
lesson.
ii) Informing learners of the objective:- state the
objectives of the lesson. Make the students aware of
what they are going to learn.
iii) Stimulating recall of prior learning:- in order to
make link with the previous knowledge, the teacher
may asks questions to recall the prior learning.

iv) Presenting the content:- the teachers present the new

concepts. Define and describe the details of the concepts
before the students.
v) Providing learning guidance:- the teachers use the audio
and visual aids in order to create a best learning
environment.
vi) Providing opportunities to practice:- the teachers use
examples from the daily life and provide opportunities to
revise/drill the new lesson. Sometimes the teachers give
class work for the improvement in learning.
 Hunter’s Seven Steps Lesson Plan
Hunter developed a seven steps model of lesson planning.
These steps are associated with the direct instruction method
and behavior change practices. The seven steps fall under
four categories as follows:
• i) Getting Students Ready to Learn
• 1. Review:- review of prior learning is necessary to
make students ready to learn the new concept.
• 2. Protective Set:- focus attention, gain interest –
knowledge and experiences of the students about the new
concept are assessed. The teacher connects the previous
knowledge and experience of the students to the new
topic/concept.
• 3. Stating the objective:- most specifically the
objectives of the lesson are stated by the teacher.

Instruction
Input and modeling:- the teacher presents
instructions to the class. He/she uses
different modes keeping in mind the
students’ interests and abilities. Various
examples from the daily life experiences
help students to grasp the new concepts.
iii) Checking for Understanding
1. Check for understanding:- students learn the
lesson according to their own style of learning.
Teachers check students understanding in the
middle and at the end of the lesson and decide
whether further clarification is required or not or
which areas/points needs more clarification
either through teaching material or through
different strategies. The teachers use class
assignments for this purpose

2. Guided practice (provide feedback without

grading):- a teacher’s remark on students’ work
is very essential. It provides feed back to the
students about their progress, learning and
weaknesses, areas where improvement is
required.
iv) Independent Practice
Independent practice (usually for a graded
assignment):- students’ learning of new
concepts is regularly checked through continues
assessment; i.e. monthly tests, quarterly exams.
The teachers mark and give grades to their
work.
 5 E’s of Lesson Planning
• The 5 E's Lesson Planning Model is most often associated with
constructivist learning design. It involves following 5 E’s:
• Engage - students come across the material, define their questions, do
the basic work for their class work, make connections between new and
known ideas, identify the relevant practices from their daily life.
• Explore - students directly involved with material, go through the
learning process to solve the problems. They work in a team to share
the knowledge.
• Explain – the student gets an opportunity to explain the learned
concepts such as discoveries, processes, and ideas by written/ verbal
assignments or through creative writing/ projects. The teacher supplies
material, books/ resources, gives feedback, enhances vocabulary, and
clarifies misconceptions/wrong points if any.
COURSE AND UNIT PLANNING
• Decide a topic
• - Determine objectives
• - Identify learning outcomes- (the
desirable results)
• - Determine assessment
• - Design learning experiences and organize
material- the content
• - Develop evaluation mechanism-
evaluation
• - Information marketing-course

 STEPS IN LESSON PLANNING
• Outline learning objectives
• Develop the introduction
• Plan the specific learning activities (the
main body of the lesson)
• Plan to check for understanding
• Develop a conclusion and a preview
• Create a realistic timeline
 THE LESSON PLAN FORMAT
• Title of the lesson
• Time required to complete the lesson
• List of required materials
• List of objectives
• An instructional component
• Independent practice
• A summary
• An evaluation component
• Analysis component
• A continuity component
 Activity for students
