Introduction:
Developing a lesson takes the process of
planning: what to to teach, how to teach
and how to evaluate learning. As mentioned
earlier in our discussion effective teaching
aligns the three major components of
instruction namely: learning
objectives;instructional activities and
assessment. Therefore, in the planning or
process of developing a lesson these three
should be taken into consideration.
