whole so that a lesson has an identity which SMS can recognise, work within and react
to...

proposal for action rather than scripts to be followed slavishly.."
What's a lesson plan?
a) it's the teachers's working document.
A guide to keep on target but not to avoid responding to the needs of the moment.
b) record.
It is the register of what the teacher has done to cover the syllabus and how.
c) a coherent and blended whole
It is the combination of techniques, activities and materials in such a way that a balance is
created for the class.
Why should teachers plan their lessons?
To show Ss that the teacher has devoted time to thinking about the class.
To help us give the lesson a framework, an overall shape and a destination we want Ss
to reach.
All these factors should inuence our planning choices for any lesson
Our overall objective might be to improve Ss's reading skills, but our specic aims may
be to encourage Ss to predict content, use guessing strategies, etc.
