This unit covers the idea of lesson planning and discusses not only what a lesson plan is, reasons why it is done and the basics of how to do one, but also has a number of models and examples of lesson plans, ideas for lesson plans or material that can be used in lessons according to such plans. I like too that the unit acknowledges that there are differing views about creating lesson plans and suggests that generally speaking, experience is more valuable than planning in organizing and managing classes. Whether the plan is written down or not, whether the teacher strictly adheres to the plan with a more rigidly structured approach to the class, or chooses to conduct class more loosely and freely, certainly the process of planning, anticipation of difficulties, elucidation of goals/objectives, etc. is a valuable process to go through before the start of each class. This unit didn’t go into it much, but I personally think that in addition to lesson planning, it is a good idea for teachers to do a good bit of course planning, where they engage in basically the same process but for the entire semester or teaching term or whatever the length of the course. Knowing where you’re going is usually better than not, at least when it comes to teaching.
