For a successful lesson delivery adequate preparation and planning need to be made, this comes to a popular saying which goes “he who fails to plan, plans to fail’. A teacher needs to adequately plan his or her lessons in order to impact meaningfully to the learners.
The lesson comes from a Latin word lectio, meaning the action of reading.
A lesson is a structural period of time where learning is intended to occur. It involves one or more learners being taught by a teacher. It could also be said to be a short period of time during which learners are taught about a particular subject or taught how to perform a particular activity. This is mostly taught in classroom and occasionally takes place in a situated learning environment.
In a wider sense, a lesson is an insight gained by a learner into previously unfamiliar subject matter. Lesson could be planned or accidental, painful or enjoyable.
STAGES IN LESSON PLANNING
Lesson plan is one major activity of the teacher and the school in general. This begins from the curriculum design to syllabus or scheme of work to weekly plan (unit plan) daily plan and finally a note of lesson .
NOTE OF LESSON
In order to dictate the structure of teaching, teachers need to have a lesson plan. Lesson plan is an instructor’s detailed description of the course of instruction for an individual lesson. This should always contain some of the following element:
-the topic of the lesson;
-time required for the lesson to be completed;
-date for delivery;
-behavior objectives in clear measurable terms;
-instructional materials;
-previous knowledge;
-the content in steps in accordance with the behavior objectives;
-summary;
-the evaluation;
-assignment.
The format for note of lesson is often chosen by the school requirement and personal taste of the teacher. Some prefer a simple list of what is to be taught in a lesson with other work including much detail such as time plan and the aims and objectives. Student teachers are usually advised to put great amount of details of what is to be taught into written plan to ensure a cohesive plan and that all components of successful lesson are taken care of. For a successful teaching practice by teacher trainee advice is given here that a script of some section of your should be noted these include questions for the learners to keep them alert , the expected answers , improvisation of materials to make the lesson real and interesting. One most important reason why it is necessary for teacher trainee to have a detailed lesson plan is that student teachers are often asked to present or submit their lesson plan in advance to their mentor teachers so as to receive feedback on their ideas
In order to develop an effective lesson plan the following question should be your guide
- Where are the learners going?
- How are they going to get there?
- How will you know when they have arrived?
The following categories which form the organization of plan should be the pivot thought.

online wealth made easy
Money has energy of its own and it is largely attracted to people who treat it well. Money tends to flow toward those people who can use it in the most productive ways to produce valuable goods and services, and who can invest it to create employment and opportunities that benefit others. At the same time, money flows away from those who use it poorly, or who spend it in non-productive ways. Your job is to acquire as much money as you honestly can and then to use it enhance the quality of your life and the lives of those you care about.
According to the law of cause and effect, every effect, success or failure, wealth or poverty, has a specific cause or causes. Every cause or action has an effect or consequence of some kind or another, whether we can see it, or whether we like it or not.
This law says that financial success is an effect. As such, it proceeds from certain, specific causes. When you identify these causes and implement them in your own life and activities, you will get the same effects that hundreds of thousands and even millions of others have gotten.
“Thought is creative.” Your thoughts are the primary creative forces in your life. You create your entire world by the way you think. All the people and situations of your life have been created by your own thinking. And when you change your thinking, you change your life, sometimes in seconds!
This law of belief says that you always act in a manner consistent with your beliefs, especially your beliefs about yourself. Your beliefs act like a set of filters that screen out information that is inconsistent with them. You do not necessarily believe what you see but rather you see what you already believe. You reject information that contradicts what you have already decided to believe, whether or not your beliefs, your prejudices, are based on fact or fantasy. This is especially true with regard to money.
The best belief that you can develop within yourself is that you are destined to be a big success financially. When you are absolutely convinced that you are a financial success in the making, you will engage in the behaviors that will make it come true.
The worst beliefs you can have are “Self limiting beliefs.” These exist whenever you believe yourself to be limited in some way. The fact is that no one is better than you are and no one is smarter than you are. If someone else is doing better, it is largely because he has developed his natural talents and abilities more than you have. He has learned the laws of cause and effect that apply to his life and finances before you have. But anything anyone else has done, within reason, you can probably do as well. You just need to learn how.
Wealthy people expect to be rich. Successful people expect to be successful. Happy, popular people expect to be happy and popular. And your expectations are largely under your control.
The Law of Attraction: You are a living magnet; you invariably attract into your life the people, situations and circumstances that are in harmony with your dominant thoughts.
This is one of the great laws that explains much of success and failure in business and personal life. It says that everything you have in your life you have attracted to yourself because of the way you think. You can change your life because you can change the way you think.
When you develop a burning desire for financial success and think about it all the time, you set up a force field of positive emotional energy that attracts people, ideas and opportunities into your life to help you make your goals into realities. Look at your financial life today and see how it harmonizes with your thinking.
The Law of Abundance: We live in an abundant universe in which there is sufficient money for all who really want it and are willing obey the laws governing its acquisition.
There is plenty of money available to you. There is no real shortage. You can have virtually all you really want and need. We live in a generous universe and we are surrounded on all sides by blessings and opportunities to acquire all we truly desire. Your attitude, of either abundance or scarcity toward money, will have a major impact on whether you become rich or not. The first corollary of the Law of Abundance says that, People become wealthy because they decide to become wealthy.
Individuals become wealthy because they believe they have the ability to become wealthy. Because they believe this completely, they act accordingly. They consistently do the things that turn their beliefs into realities.
The second corollary of this law says: People are poor because they have not yet decided to become rich.
“Why aren’t you rich already?”
This is an important question to ask yourself. However you answer this question will reveal a lot about yourself. Your answers will expose your self-limiting beliefs, your doubts, your fears, your excuses, your rationalizations and your justifications.
Why aren’t you rich already? Write down all the reasons you can think of. Go over your answers one by one with someone who knows you well and ask them for their opinion. You may be surprised to find that your reasons are mostly excuses that you have fallen in love with.
Whatever your reasons or excuses, you can now get rid of them. The world is full of hundreds and thousands of people who have had far more difficulties to overcome than you could ever imagine, and they’ve gone on to be successful anyway. So can you.
