Students learn a lot of different things in schools and colleges and every day they discover something new which is unique for them and it is important for the teachers to keep the students interested in the learning process so that they don’t get bored and lose interest. All this process in which the teacher plans his or her lessons and develops teaching techniques is known as lesson plan. Each subject has more than 15-20 chapters and each chapter is different from others and it’s the duty of the teacher to develop a lesson plan in order to complete the book of each subject by the end of the session and to verify if the students are ready for the exams or not.

Lesson Plan Guidelines:

• Always choose a unique and interesting looking lesson plan.
• Always start with objectives and define the goals before starting the plan.
• Always plan extracurricular or alternate activities for the students in order to keep them interested in the learning process.
• Teach new stuff but always add something from the previous learning in order to make a connection.
• Always provide effective tips to prepare for each lesson and provide a wide range of learning materials for the students (i.e. internet, notes, notebooks, journals and libraries).
• Always create the plan from the perspectives of the students because you know everything but it’s completely new for the students.
• Create the lesson plan in such an order that it includes all the students in the class (dull students, slow learners and bright students who learn fast).
• Always work with a timeline and milestones so that it’s easy to assess the progress and performance of each student.

Steps to create a Lesson Plan

Here are the steps that you need to take in order to create a Lesson Plan:

1. Outline the Necessary Learning Objectives:
   It is very important to define where you want to go and from where you are going to start. Without understanding the finish line of the learning, you can’t create a lesson plan. Also, it is very important to define the learning objectives at the start of each session so that the students understand what they will learn in the next lesson and what you are trying to teach them.
2. Always give an Introduction in the Beginning:
   Always start with a brief introduction of each lesson in the beginning. This way, the students can easily get the idea of what they are about to learn and what the objectives behind learning all this are. Introduction includes a brief description of each lesson, its particulars and the elements that it includes. Also it helps the students to remember where they left off the last time when the previous lesson ended.
3. Plan the particular Learning Activities:
   This usually includes the learning and teaching process by which you understand how you can teach the lesson easily to the students. It also defines the rules by which you can make it easier for the students that learn slower than others. It is important for the teacher to keep all the students on the same page because there are some students that learn fast where some students have difficulty learning the simple lessons.
