Lesson plans are guides for teachers who are either new or experienced. They are the product of teacher's thoughts , ideas about their classes for the objectives she wants to meet after the lesson.
The models or types of lesson plan are as many as the teacher. The trainee teachers mostly have to produce a very detailed lesson plans, with descriptions not only of each activity but also listing questions and all the illustrations they are going to provide the class. The time,each activity consumes, should also be included. In a full- time teaching situation, however,it may not be practical, it is expected that the teacher should prepare a detailed lesson plan that they teach.
For some teachers it may not be necessary to write a detailed lesson plan,less detailed lesson plan can be comprehensive for them Experienced teachers can plan the lesson very quickly, just jotting down all the important aspects of it.
For successful teaching,lesson plan is an important factor to fulfil the objectives. To illustrate it let's imagine a journey but with no idea where you are going. You are the driver of bus full of passengers. You have to drive them for a particular periodf of time, with no idea where you have to go and how to get there. It may be an interesting journey, full of fun, singing, dancing, joking, and interacting but it would get lost and all the passengers would't be happy at last. Similarly, if you imagine a lesson is like a journey, and then lesson plan is like a map. it identifies your objectives and helps to select the materials to meet the objectives. It encourages the teacher to engage the classroom and also focuses the subject matter. It gives chance to predict possible problems in the class and think about ways to deal with them by investigating related area.
