A lesson plan format comes in different forms but they are the same in purpose—to guide a teacher on his or her lesson. So the best format for you may not be the best for others. The point is that you should learn how to make a format that will work for you best.

Looking at some lesson plan format samples will help you see how others are doing it.
Here are the sections of a typical lesson plan:

 

Course.

This will indicate the name of the course such as Vocabulary, Reading, Arts and Crafts, and Math.

 

Date.

This will tell when the lesson will start and when it will be finished. It may not be the date per se; it can also be the time.

 

Materials Needed.

This will list down what materials the teacher will need to effectively carry out the lesson.

 

Class Announcements.

This lesson plan format section will indicate any special announcement that the teacher has to tell his class.

 

Class Objectives.

In this section, you will write down the goals of the lesson or the things that the teacher aims the student to learn. For instance, “learn the difference between noun and pronoun” or “be able to draw perfect circles.” Limit the objectives to only two.

 

Connection to Course Goals.

This lesson plan format section will identify what makes the daily objectives relate or connect to the general goals of the course.

 

 

These are only some of the sections. Other lesson plans will include anticipatory set, procedures, conclusion, and plan for the next lesson, which should aim at improving the flaws found in the previous lesson.

 

 

By simply knowing some of the individual sections in a common lesson plan, you can have a good guide that will help you make your own lesson plan format. It may not be easy but it will not be that difficult either.
