1. A lesson plan should include goals, objectives, materials, procedures including opening/closing activities and techniques for whole class, groups, and individuals, and evaluation.
2. When planning, consider students' needs, familiarize yourself with the curriculum, determine the topic and goals, and write clear objectives. Include a variety of sequencing techniques and ensure proper timing.
3. Anticipate difficulties and make materials appropriate for students' proficiency levels. Account for individual differences with easy/difficult questions and techniques that encourage participation.
