This unit provides suggestions and tips for lesson planning, such as using lesson plans as a way to keep track of what students have covered from lesson to lesson as well as a way for a teacher to review, reflect, and revise ways for improvement in teaching the material. I learned that there isn't a single concrete way for how one's lesson plan is structured. A lesson plan can be constructed in a table chart or it can simply be notes jotted down in a notebook. It's up to each teacher to decide what works best for them. In whatever way a lesson plan is constructed, there are certain features that all lesson plans should include in order for a lesson to be carried out as effectively and efficiently as possible, such as learner objectives, teaching aids, and timing. Also, a lesson plan doesn't need to be (and shouldn't be) followed strictly; there should be some room for flexibility depending on how students move along in the lesson. For example, if students seem to be enjoying a particular activity, the time allotted for the activity can be extended, and whatever was meant to follow the activity can be postponed to the following lesson instead.
