The study unit 5 of lesson planning we have learned the basic principles of a lesson plan to keep in mind when planning a music lesson or non-music lesson with music activities. Thes include the use of many opportunities as possible for learners to engage with. They must be used according to the way CAPS document has prescribed them. We see different characteristics of a well planned lesson that must have introduction phase, teaching and learning phase, and conclusion phase as those phases must include teachers activities, learner activities and assessment.
