 Objectives
At the end of the activity the
students will be able to:
• explain the definition of the
lesson plan;
• discuss the importance of lesson
plan;
• elaborate the steps in the making
of the lesson plan;
• formulate a lesson plan.
 The Lesson Plan
• Making an effective lesson
plan takes time, dedication, and
an understanding of students'
abilities and goals. In the field of
education, every teacher strives
to motivate students to retain as
much as possible during the
course of the class and apply it.
 The Lesson Plan
• The educator conducts the lesson
as outlined in the plan in order to
achieve the goal of the course.
The measurement of a successful
lesson plan is often proven
through the use of worksheets,
homework, or a test.
 Nelson Bossing (1961)
• Defines lesson plans as “a statement of achievements to be realized
and the specific means by which these are to be attained as a result of
the activities engaged in day by day under the guidance of the teacher.”
 Importance of a Lesson Plan
 A pupil’s educational growth
depends on the selection of
subject matter, activities,
experiences, and methods
adapted to his interests, needs,
abilities, and level of maturity.
The wise teacher who plans his
lessons well gets optimum results
in his teaching.
 Importance of a Lesson Plan
A Lesson plan includes framing
objectives and choosing subject
matter, procedures, materials,
and evaluation techniques. A
teacher who has to do all these
things is forced to prepare and
organize his lessons well.
 Importance of a Lesson Plan
 Making a lesson plan involves
foreseeing what is likely to
happen and choosing experiences
that will change children for the
better. Foresight contributes to
good teaching which, incidentally,
is the aim of every teacher. A
lesson plan stipulates the teacher
to be creative.
 Importance of a Lesson Plan

 A Lesson Plan serves as a guide

to the apprentice teacher. With
so many things on his mind, the
student teacher may forget the
subject matter or its sequential
organization. The lesson plan
serves as a reminder.
 Importance of a Lesson Plan
 Planning prevents waste of
time that usually accompanies
unorganized teaching. A
lesson plan helps the teacher
to be systematic and orderly.
It also helps him determine
what is to be taken up so that
it will neither be too broad
nor too limited.
 Parts of a Lesson Plan

• Objectives
• Content
• Learning Resources
• Procedure
• Evaluation
• Assignment
• Remarks/Reflections

that may be taken upon in the classroom. It
means anticipating difficulties that may
arise and planning their solutions. It also
means knowing the information, and
understanding the skills and attitudes to be
learned.
 Knowing the Children or the Students
• Good Planning requires knowledge of what to teach as well as of who
should be taught. Knowing children meant understanding their traits
and interests and planning for them. It is necessary for the teacher to
know not only the history of Philippine education but also the nature of
children in order to plan activities and experiences for them.
 • The Teacher must know various ways of

nature and with the type of subject matter.
He must know different approaches,
methods, and techniques of teaching.
Method, which includes all activities taken
up in the classroom, must consider group
and individual interests, aptitudes,
capacities, and needs. It must also take into
account the environment that may
influence the class, collectivity and
individually.
Materials
• A teacher needs materials that
will facilitate the teaching
process. He should know the
materials he will need in a
learning situation.
 Understanding of Objectives
• This includes the aims of education especially of the Philippine
education, the aims of the course or subject, and the aims of the specific
lessons. Otherwise, the recitation will have no direction and not much
will be accomplished.
 TYPES
OF
LESSON
PLANS

BY STACEY ZEIGLER
 Five-Step Lesson Plan
• A five-step lesson plan is a form of daily lesson planning that includes
the following components:
I. Anticipatory set
II. Instruction section
III. Guided practice
IV. Closure or assessment
V. Independent practice
Anticipatory set
• In the anticipatory set, a
teacher should note the
objective of the lesson,
explain how it connects to
past learning and describe
the purpose for what is being
learned. These items should
be written in a student-
friendly form so the teacher
can easily convey them to the
students during the lesson.
 Instruction section
• For the instruction section, a teacher
must list how she will use direct teaching
through modes such as lecturing,
providing notes or showing a video, and
modeling by demonstrating how to
complete a process or activity. This
section should also include questions or
brief activities the teacher will use to
check to see if students are
understanding the material.
 Guided practice
• The third step is guided practice, which asks the
teacher to list any activity students will complete
in the classroom with teacher or peer assistance.
 Closure or assessment
• Guided Practice is followed by the fourth step, Closure or
Assessment, which requires an activity to help the teacher get
a snapshot of what students learned that day. This section can
include an exit slip, a short reflection or something more in-
depth such as a quiz or a test.
 Independent practice
• Independent practice is the fifth section of this format. In
many cases, independent practice can be completed in class;
however, in the five-steps plan, independent practice is the
place the teacher lists any homework assignments students will
be expected to complete related to that day's lesson.
 Five-E Lesson Plan

 The five-E lesson plan format

asks teachers to list components
that deal with engaging,
exploring, explaining,
elaborating and evaluating.
 Five-E Lesson Plan
• This lesson plan begins with a question or brief activity that
1st phase hooks or engages students at the beginning of the lesson.

• the teacher lectures or provides a video, reading passage or

2nd phase demonstration to explain the material and its key terms.

• a teacher must show what activity students will complete to help

3rd phase them explore the material

4th phase • Elaborating, can be compared to independent practice

• evaluation component to determine whether students have learned

5th phase the material.
 Weekly Lesson Plan
 A weekly lesson plan is an ideal format for teachers who are covering a
similar topic throughout the week.

 At the top of the lesson plan, teachers should list the standards,
objectives and essential questions being covered that week
 Unit Plan
 For teachers who do not work well with elaborate plans, a unit plan is a
simple way to guide instruction.

 At the top of the unit plan, teachers list all of the standards and
objectives covered in the unit along with the projected time-frame for
the unit.
 Inquiry-Based Lesson Plan
 Inquiry-based lesson plans are especially useful for the science
classroom because they involve experimentation and hands-on activities
that allow the teacher to be a facilitator of learning rather than an
instructor.
 TYPES OF LESSON PLANS

IN BOOK
 Bossing (1961)
• He gives two types of Lesson Plans—the
memorized and the written. It is obvious
that the written type is more
advantageous, among which are;
1. Expression in written form leads to
clarity of thought.
2. Protection against forgetting is insured.
3. A written lesson plan is an aid to
mastery.
4. A written plan forms the basis of later
improvement.
Gerald A. Yoakom and R.G. Simpsons (1949)

1. Syllabus or Outline
2. Unit Plans Dealing with a division of subject matter or a complete
activity
3. Detailed Study Guides
4. Mimeographed Exercises
5. Workbooks
6. Daily Plans

the seven-step method
developed by Madeline Hunter,
a UCLA professor and education
author
 THE HUNTER METHOD

• 1. Objective/Purpose
– "The purpose or objective of the lesson includes why students need to learn
the objective, what they will be able to do once they have met the criterion,
(and) how they will demonstrate learning....The formula for the behavioral
objective is: The learner will do what + with what + how well.“

2. Anticipatory Set
– The Anticipatory Set involves the teacher working to get students excited
about the upcoming lesson. This can include an activity, a game, a focused
discussion, viewing a film or video clip, a field trip, or reflective exercise.
 THE HUNTER METHOD

• 3. Input Modeling/Modeled Practice

 This step takes place when the educator actually teaches the
lesson.
 Modeled practice, which some lesson plan templates list as a
separate step, involves walking the students through a math
problem or two as a class. You might write a problem on the
board and then call on students to help you solve it, as they also
write the problem, the steps to solve it, and then the answer.
 THE HUNTER METHOD
• 4. Check for Understanding
 You need to make sure students understand what you have
taught. One easy way to do this is to ask questions.

• 5. Guided and Independent Practice

 Guided practice provides each student a chance to
demonstrate her grasp of new learning by working through
an activity or exercise under the teacher’s direct
supervision. It can include homework or seatwork
assignments.
 THE HUNTER METHOD
• 6. Closure
• It is an important step where
teachers wraps things up.
 Tips and Hints
 Always gather all needed
supplies ahead of time, and
have them ready and available
at the front of the room.
 To ease your job in creating a
lesson plan, use a template.
 Once you figure out what kind
of lesson plan you will be
writing, then you can determine
the best way to use the format
to fit your needs.
