Before anything else could take place in a classroom, or before a lesson, a lesson plan has to be completed. A lesson plan is a guideline to both the teacher and learners. The teacher is the one to complete a lesson plan. The first thing are the outcomes of a lesson. In a lesson plan you state the things you as a teacher would like or love to achieve and the outcomes that you want your learners to achieve. The outcomes will be looked at, at the end of the lesson to check whether all of them have been met or not and for those that aren't, there has to be another solution on how to over come them.
Other things to include in the lesson plan are questions about your learner that needs to be answered such as:
- How many are they in the classroom?
- They're weaknesses and their strengths?
- How disciplined are they?
-Are there any who have special needs?
These questions gives you a clearer and better picture to know and understand your learners, in that way the learning that'll take place during a lesson will be much easier.
Followed by mentioning the resources that are needed or are going to be used in a classroom (it can be resources that'll be used to make musical instruments for a music lesson). A lesson can be planned by using music. A teacher can use music to teach.
