19. Need of Lesson Planning
Through lesson planning the subject is organized
properly.
It keeps the teacher free from the faults of
thoughtless teaching.
It makes the proper atmosphere for learning
process.
The teacher also gets a clear idea about when they
should start evaluation and when they should

21. Characteristics of Good Lesson Planning
• Lesson planning should be in a written form.
• In lesson planning, the general and important
objectives should be clearly defined.
• The lesson plan should relate to suitable teaching
method and its use.
• A continuity component reviews and reflects on
content from the previous lesson.
• Subject, time , class, average age of the students
should be mentioned in the lesson plan.
22. Characteristics of Good Lesson Planning
• Important examples should be included in lesson
planning.
• Inspirational or motivational methods should be
experimented in lesson planning.
• In lesson planning, the time for each topic
should appropriately be pre determined.
• In lesson planning, the techniques and
supportive materials of education like charts,
maps and other audio-visual materials and its
utilization should be written.
23. Approaches to Lesson Planning
Generally various approaches are used to
make a lesson plan. These approaches are
Herbartian approach, Unit approach,
Evaluation approach, and Project approach.
A brief description is provided:-
24. Herbartian Approach
Herbartian Approach is based on apperceptive
mass theory of learning. All the knowledge and
information is to be given from outside by the
teacher because the student is considered similar
to a clean slate. For the students, if an old
knowledge makes a base for new knowledge (his
previous knowledge or experiences), it may be
acquired easily and retained for a longer period.
25. Unit Approach of Morrison
Unit Approach of Morrison is based on
unit transaction and planning. The
Morrison’s lesson plan of teaching is cyclic;
Morrison has given five steps for his ‘cycle
phase’ of teaching:- Exploration,
Presentation, Assimilation, Organization,
and Recitation.
26. Evaluation Approach of B.S. Bloom
Evaluation Approach of B.S. Bloom in evaluation
approach, education is objective centered not
content centered. The focus in this approach is on
objective based teaching and testing. It takes into
consideration the learning objectives and teaching
methods on the basis of the objectives and to assess
learning outcomes. Then, a decision can be taken
about objectives of learning are achieved or need to
provide the revision.
27. Project approach originated by
Dewey and W. H. Kilpatrick
Project approach originated by Dewey and W. H.
Kilpatrick stresses on group activity, social
activity, self activity, and related to real life
experiences. It is a pre-planned work completed
by a person or group in social condition. Due to
many reasons, it is not necessary that a lesson
plan made by a teacher will be successful at every
place and time. Many factors influence lesson
planning such as:
28. Cont.
Availability of teaching aids,
Strength of students in the Class.
Composition of the Class (Age wise).
School Location (Area wise)
The nature of the topic (Medium wise) etc.
The list is not enough, few other factors from own
experiences can be added.
29. Writing a lesson Plan
Many written lesson plans are used by practicing
teachers. A teacher needs some information about
the class, students and their background before to
attempt the lesson plan. In general, a Macro
Lesson plan is divided into many stages/steps. We
had introduced the approaches of lesson planning.
Now, one can write a macro lesson plan based on
different approaches.

33. 1. General Objectives
These objectives are formulated by the teacher in
his subject keeping in view the entering behaviors
of the learners.
For example:
1. to develop the knowledge of grammar among
the students.
34. 2. Specific Objective
These objectives are formulated on the basis of
general objectives and considering the nature of
the topic and level of students. These are

• Students will be able to enumerate the examples of
noun.
35. 3. Teaching Aids
Audio-visual aids are selected according to the
proposed topic.
36. 4. Previous knowledge
Students’ previous knowledge is mentioned.
For example: Students are familiar with figure
of speech. They know that nouns are naming
words.
37. 5. Introduction
Here, the teacher employs his insight and
experiences for liking new knowledge with the
previous knowledge of the students. The topic
is not introduced directly but it is usually
emitted by the students’ responses by asking
introductory questions.
38. 6. Statement of Aim
The teacher gives his statement of teaching topic
by incorporating the students’ responses.
For Example: “Today, we will study about the
noun and its kinds”.
39. 7. Presentation

40. 8. Explanation
The teacher is supposed to explain the answers of
the given developing question. As whole of the
content-matter is in the question-answer form.
41. 9. Black Board Summary
The teacher has to prepare the black-board
summary of his teaching point and explanations.
42. 10. Review Questions
The purpose of these questions is to practice the
students’ learning and to evaluate their
performance whether they have comprehended
the teaching unit or not. These review questions
are asked only after rubbing the black-board
summary.
For example:
Q.1.What is the definition of Noun?
Q.2. Give some examples of Noun…..
43. 11. Home Assignments
At the end of the lesson plan, home assignment is
given to the students on the same teaching unit.
The purpose of home work is to practice, to
organize and to study the topic for better
understanding and retention.
