In this post I will present a sample of a lesson plan that I personally use. But before you proceed reading, you might be interested to know why teachers need lesson plans.

Although a lesson plan doesn’t necessarily equate a successful lesson,  it will undoubtedly ensure a coherent view of the teaching procedure in the teacher’s mind.  A well organized lesson plan serves as a guideline for managing the learning process and outlines beforehand the decisions he must make about the methods, techniques strategies and procedures he opted for.

A lesson plan should include the following points:

• Date
• Lesson / unit number and title
• The course (reading, listening, dictation, …)
• Instructional aids , materials and tool needed
• The goals or standards
• the lesson outline
• The timing.
• Assignments (class or home assignment)

Here is a lesson plan sample:

Lesson plans are not the bible. Unpredictable events happen in the classroom. Teachers should be ready at any moment to change ,add or improvise lesson delivery.
