“A person, who succeeds in the right way,
is the one who inspires others to succeed.
He appreciates others' problems too and
tells them how to solve them. We should
remember that our children, the future
generation, start from only where we end”.

11.3.1. Format of a Lesson Plan
There is no such thing as 'the' (best or model/ideal format of a
lesson plan. There are different ways in which a lesson plan may be
prepared. The best format is the one that works. Whether a lesson
plan fits particular format is not as relevant as whether or not it
describes what teacher want and what has determined is the best
means to an end. No matter what the format of the lesson plan is
some elements must necessarily be included in the plan. There is no
universally acceptable list of components for a lesson plan. The
components to be included must be such that they help the teacher
to systematize instruction and provide a basis for assessing
learning. Elements that may be included are
• Objectives, specific content
• Learning pre-requisites and Pre-assessment procedure.
• Instructional outline
• time frame
• sequence of teachers activities and student interaction
• Learning resources required such as equipment, materials
aids etc.
• Summary 9
