Lesson Plan FDP at Bharti College, University of Delhi By: Dr. Rama Srivastava

A lesson plan is the teachers road map of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time. A successful lesson plan addresses and integrates these three key components Objectives for student learning Teaching/learning activities Strategies to check student understanding

What teaching and learning activities will I use What do I want Students to learn How will I check for their understanding

Pre requisites of a lesson Plan 1. Syllabus 2. Academic calendar of the University 3. List of holidays of the college 4. List of activities planned during the semester 5. Total no of teaching days available.

Steps for Preparing a Lesson Plan 1. Outline learning objectives 2. Develop the introduction 3.Plan the specific learning activities (the main body of the lesson) 4. Develop a conclusion and a preview. 5. Plan to check for understanding

Once you outline the learning objectives for the class, rank them in terms of their importance. What are the most important concepts, ideas, or skills I want students to be able to grasp and apply? Why are they important? If ran out of time, which ones could not be omitted? And conversely, which ones could be skipped if pressed for time?

6. Create a realistic timeline When you prepare your lesson plan, next to each activity indicate how much time you expect it will take Plan a few minutes at the end of class to answer any remaining questions and to sum up key points Be flexible be ready to adjust your lesson plan to students needs
