what is a lesson plan? A lesson plan is like a set of notes.It tells us what we are going to teach and how we are going to teach. A lesson plan is important because of several reasons.mainly,it is a road map to help the teacherknow where he is going in the lesson.With a lesson plan,teachers are more confident because they know what to do in every step of the lesson.It provides a systematic outline to induce smooth and efficient teaching.it helps to provide a useful basis for future planning,and t helps the teacher to be more organized.In a class where there is a wide dynamic of students,lesson plans help the teacher design practical activities to suit different learningstyles.After the class,lesson plans provide the teacher with a chance to reflect on the lesson-whether or not the teaching objectives have been achieved.lastly,it is an evaluation of the teacher's performance in class and a guide to future revisions.
