Walking into a class of new students sometimes can be a daunting experience, even for an experienced teacher.
So all teachers use lesson plans to give the class direction.
But the lesson plan has other benefits, both for us as teachers and our students.
Some of the reasons for planning lessons include:
- allowing the teacher to time the individual components
- providing for a logical progression of activities
- showing students that some time has gone into preparing their lesson
- enabling the teacher to see whether there is a balance of activities and skills within the lesson
