Many teachers use lessons plans in order to effectively guide their classes through a lesson. They allow the teacher to outline the subject, highlight key points and build a robust curriculum that allows for a well-rounded and easily understood lesson.
A plan is one of the very best ways to ensure something gets done, and done correctly. Almost all professions use plans: contractors use blueprints, dancers choreograph routines and teachers plan out their lessons.
Teaching can be difficult, especially when your class consists of primary schoolers who are easily distracted. If you try to “wing it” with little preparation other than your understanding of the subject and a slideshow, chances are the lesson will hit some snags along the way.
English class is not often a favorite when it comes to younger students. “I already speak English, why do I need to take an English class?” is a commonly echoed sentiment in classrooms all over the country.
