If a doctor has a stethoscope, an engineer has a calculator, the teacher has a lesson plan to make things easier for her or him. A lesson plan is indeed very important to all teachers in elementary and high school for it serve as a guideline on how dish out a lesson with precision and efficiency.

Here's the backbone of a lesson plan (with valuable tips and pointers) that can be utilized in all subjects whether you are an elementary or a high school teacher.

I. Learning Objectives:

At the end of this lesson, the pupils/students should able to: (It should start with this)

(Tips: You must have three to eight objectives (though 2 to 5 is sufficient already) starting from the word describe, demonstrate, classify, explain, cite, identify, name,name ways, differentiate, enumerate, find out, define, compare, infer, state, show evidence, tell, observe that, determine and discuss.)

II. Learning Content

A. Topic: (The title of your topic)

B. Skills: (The students must be able to accomplish the objectives that were set)

C. Concepts: (The thought(s) of the lesson)

D. Values: (Positive traits, qualities or attributes that the students will learn from the lesson)

E. Instructional Materials: (Visual aids - graphs, tables, illustrations, drawings, flash cards, posters, etc - that will make teaching fun and interesting)

III. Learning Experiences

A. Motivation: (The teacher must be able to find a way to make his/her lesson interesting by getting their attention and by telling a thought-provoking and compelling question. The teacher must be able to get as many questions as he/she can. Keep in mind that you are prepared to give substantial questions that were given by the students.)

B. Lesson Proper: (This is the main content of your lesson. Be familiar with your topic and make research if necessary)

C. Evaluation: (You can make a short quiz and seat work to gauge if the students understand the lesson and discern which of the students stand out from the rest.

D. Reinforcement: (You may add other important and relevant information about the subject matter. You an also give them an assignment, research work or project to work with at home).

E. Enrichment: (Give the relevance of the lesson by sharing your experiences and stock knowledge about the lesson. You may also give them trivia and facts about the lesson. Better still, you may give the significance of the topic in real life.)

Here is an example of an engaging lesson plan in Science subject that is proactive and at the same time will encourage students to think deeper and be attentive on their class.

The topic is all about the skin, our body’s largest organ.

2. Display the illustration about different parts of the skin

3. Have the students perform a board work and talk about the results later.

4. Talk about the different functions and roles of the different parts of the skins.

C. Evaluation:

Make 5 multiple choice questions and allow your students to answer it in five minutes. If the allotted is over let them exchange papers and let them check it. You can also make other questions thru identification, enumeration, matching type or an essay to gauge if the students understand their lesson well.

D. Reinforcement:

You may discuss about the skin grafting that is done by doctors on their patients.

Share valuable information about the different parts and function of the skin.

E. Enrichment:

Say something dermatologists and their roles in treating various skin disorders. Also, tell your students that they also treat hair and nail disorders.
