UNIT IV: DEVELOPING A LESSON PLAN
Lesson Objectives:
At the end of the 60-minute period, the students are expected to:
According to Golland (nd), motivation is a psychological state within each student of wanting to learn
what the instructor wants to teach. As such, motivation should not be a mere gimmick at the lesson's start,
it must be an attitude sustained throughout the lesson. Motivating the learners rely on the idea of
sustaining and creating the student’s interest towards the lesson. For teachers, the essential use of
motivation strategies is to express their belief that all of the students are capable in learning and to set
high expectation for them.
(Golland, J. (n.d.) Elements of Lesson Planning.
https://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~slm/AdjCI/Lessonplan/Elements.html#:~:text=Motivation%20is%20a%20psy)
The following are some of the several techniques used for motivation:
Relevant games
Anecdotes
Pictures
Songs
Quotations
Short film
The motivation of the students is expected to evolve from extrinsic to the intrinsic level.
According to Calderon (1998) there are two classes of motivation which are the extrinsic motivation and
intrinsic motivation.
Extrinsic motivation is a type of motivation that is based on incentives and comes in the forms
of praise and other forms of social approval, high grades, medals, scholarships and among others. In other
words, students are motivated by an important value of the activity. On the other hand, intrinsic
motivation is a motivation that the learner works not for medals or anything tangible but for the personal
satisfaction for accomplishing their work and attaining their goals. This means that if at first the
motivation of the students is afraid of failing or wants to get high grades, in the teaching and learning
process it should be shifted into the joy of learning and gradually develop interest in learning. As a result,
student become responsible with their own learning and be motivated and get challenge to continue.
The following are the factors that are need to consider at the beginning of the lesson:
1. Announce the topic lesson for the day.
2. State and clarify our lesson objectives by describing what we expect that each of our
student must be able to do after the lesson.
3. Express our beliefs that our students are capable of learning.
4. Set high standards for our students.
5. Make use of a motivational techniques to further arouse and sustain the interest of our
student.
Strategy that may use in the initial phase K-W-L strategy. It is a strategy created by Donna Olge in 1986.
It is design to help students actively associate their previous experience while establish personalized
purpose as becoming involved in a new learning experience. According to Carr and Olge (1987) “K”
stands for what the students already know, “W” stands for what they want to know and “L” is for what
the students have learned.
The Lesson Proper
The lesson proper is where the introduction of the topic takes place. In this phase, teacher teach
knowledge, the skills, the values that a teacher intends to teach with the use of different variety of
teaching techniques and strategies in a most interactive, integrated, experiential, contextualized way
possible. It is in this phase where the teacher monitors the student’s progress while in the process of
teaching. Checking student’s understanding to make sure that they are in a right track. According to Al-
Banna & Aziz (2014), teaching strategy is a generalized plan for a lesson which includes structure and
instructional objectives. Also, there are several kinds of teaching strategies that can be applied in the
teaching process.
This is a time that a teacher uses strategies:
To introduce new set of knowledge, skills, or values;
For practice, review, and application of knowledge; and
For monitoring progress in process.
Moreover, this phase includes the giving of medial and final summaries for our students to have
an integrated view of the entire lesson.
Medial summary is to check students’ comprehension of concepts and information being taught. It is
designed to serve several functions:
Concluding Phase
The concluding phase is the end of the lesson. It is meant to determine how well the students have
achieved their goals and satisfy the lesson objectives that are given during the initial phase. This may lead
to giving of homework which is another way to determine if the learning objective is attained. According
to Lewis (2019), this helps students better understand what they have learned and provides a way in
which they can apply it in real life.
Other than teacher-made tests, example of tools that is commonly use in concluding phase are the
following:
Journal Writing
Performance Task
Concept Maps
Portfolios
If we can’t proceed at once o the lesson proper, we can’t also end our lesson in the lesson proper
and delete the concluding phase because it also plays a vital role in developing a lesson. If we end our
lesson in the lesson proper, we can’t determine how well our students have attained our lesson objectives.
Furthermore, as we all know, good lesson must be planned. Yes. A well-written plan a guarantee to a
well-executed lesson because a well-written plan means an organized plan which means that you have a
clear and well-timed lessons which the students can be active and interested. A well-written plan helps
students and teachers understand the goals of an instructional module.
(Lewis, B. (2019). Writing a Lesson Plan: Closure and Context https://www.thoughtco.com/lesson-plan-
step-5-closure-2081851#:~:text=Closure%20is%20the%20step%20where)
2. Length of Period - it's inevitable that in some cases where our lesson ends either too early or too long
accordingly to the allotted time. New teacher must learn to pace themselves not to plan too much or too
little. This factor gives us an idea of what to do if these certain cases happen.
If you think your lesson might end too early, you can:
3. Flexibility - The teachers must be flexible enough to develop a lesson along the path. In this factor,
teachers must be exposed to all sorts of learning development. As that being said teachers must be
flexible enough to address unforeseen changes along the process of teaching. All you had planned might
not go as you wish, and being a teacher you must do something about it such as doing a teachable
moment (it includes questioning or additional discussion).
(https://www.jotform.com/blog/4-tips-to-adjust-to-unexpected-lesson-plan-deviations/)
4. Learner Participation - Teachers must encourage the participation of the greatest number in the class
each lesson. In this factor, teachers must not dominate the class. However, teachers must encourage
students to participate or manifest student-centered learning.
5. Learner Understanding - There is a often gap what students understand and what teachers think they
understand. Part of this process is the rapidity of the teaching process. According to the book of Allan C.
Ornstein he suggest the following to increase students understanding.
Insist that students respond to the question put to them. Students who do not know the answer or
have trouble in understanding the lesson try to change the subject, speak too quietly, or ask
another question instead of answering the given question.
If a student's answer lacks detail, does not cover the major aspects of the problem or is incorrect.
Rephrase the question, use another question to lead the student toward the desired answer, or call
another student to help the first student.
If, after calling a few students, you are unable to obtain the desired response, you may have re-
teach the parts of the lesson. Although this is not a plan, you can't ignore that several students are
having problems understanding the lesson.
Prepare students for demonstrations and experiments, ask a question during the activities, and
follow up with a written exercise in which students analyze or synthesize what they observed or
performed.
Include practice, review, or application in every lesson. The amount of time you spend on these
activities will depend on students' abilities.
Be sure to include medial and final summaries. Low-achieving and younger students need more
medial summaries than high-achieving students.
(Ornstein, A. C. STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE LEARNING)
6. Evaluation - The lesson plan must be evaluated so that it can be modified and improved. In this factor,
the lesson plan must be checked first before implementing it. It is very necessary to check it first to secure
that your objectives have been followed all throughout your lesson proper and assessment. Also in this
factor, the teacher should have a clear idea of how students react, understand, and enjoy the lesson.
In the book of Ornstein, he presented questions to ask yourself to appraise your lesson plan.
Follow the plan. Keep the schedule, start the lesson on time
- Planning doesn't guarantee you will execute the plan flawlessly, but it gives you a much
better chance of doing so than without planning. Regardless of your classroom management
philosophy, planning lessons should be a part of your style. Planning lessons ahead of time
means teachers enter the classroom each day fully prepared to teach new concepts and lead
meaningful discussions – instead of figuring things out as they go.

Families. https://www.informedfamilies.org/blog/teacher-tools-5-things-you-need-for-a-
great-lesson-plan )
Provide review of previous lesson or integrate previous lesson with new lesson
- This helps in retaining information or learning. In other terms, it refreshes students' memories
—reminding them about content and topics from the previous session. When certain key
concepts learned in a previous class are reinforced through review before continuing the
subject, this helps remind students of what they learned and develops a concrete base for their
learning.

Present lesson with appropriate pace, not too slow or too fast
- There's a correlation between effective pacing and student engagement, so it's crucial to
consider the speed at which you move through a lesson and the rate of delivery for different
parts of the lesson. When pacing is too slow, students often become bored and disengaged.
When it's too fast, some may not grasp what's being taught and get lost—or discouraged.

https://www.ascd.org/el/articles/pacing-lessons-for-optimal-learning)
Explain things clearly. Be sure students understand what to do and how to do it.
- Keep the instructions as simple as possible. Explain everything chronologically, and only
start building on the next step when the previous one is understood by your students. Ask lots
of question to measure understanding. Just keep the learning goals close so you know where
you are going.

differentiated-instructions-to-students)
Elaborate on difficult points of the lesson, give details, and provide examples.
- Difficulties are often an unavoidable but important part of the learning process. Giving more
details that are carefully arranged will help students to develop a deeper understanding. Also,
integrating meaningful examples to the said topic can help students better understand.
(https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/feduc.2018.00049/full)
Give homework, provide examples of how to do homework, and collect and check homework.
- Homework is an opportunity for students to review and practice what they learned that day.
Giving an example on how to do it will lessen the difficulty of the students on answering it.
Collecting and checking it will make students complete it consistently.
