What Is A Lesson Plan?
A lesson plan is a teacher's plan for teaching a lesson.
It can exist in the teacher's mind, on the back of an
envelope, or on one or more beautifully formatted
sheets of A4 paper.
Its purpose is to outline the "programme" for a single
lesson. That's why it's called a lesson plan.
It helps the teacher in both planning and executing the
lesson.
And it helps the students to learn some specific thing
that they didn't know at the beginning of the lesson (or
practise and make progress in that specific thing).
