Lesson Planning

There is a saying that goes like this: “When we fail to plan, we plan to fail.” From this saying we know how important a plan is. Likewise, in teaching a teacher must be able to make time for herself to plan her lesson.
Planning a lesson is very necessary. A teacher without a plan when teaching will look so funny. Students will respect a teacher who just comes to class without any preparation. The class will be least controlled. The students will not likely learn something from the teacher, they learn like a routine. And finally they will not feel satisfied with the learning.


Making a lesson plan does not require much of the teacher’s time. It can be very simple. The preparation can be like bringing realias, visual aids and other teaching materials. More sophisticated planning requires making activities, making photocopies, cutting and pasting.

Actually, a teacher, especially the experienced one,  does not need to worry about planning a lesson whenever she has to teach. She can just check her repertoire and find one matching with the need of the lesson that will be taught. Therefore, ability to manage and arrange teaching repertoire is essential. A novice teacher, on the other hand, must learn from time to time to formulate lessonplan that works and suits the needs of the class she is teaching. Inability to do so will lead herself to unending business of lesson planning.
