3.Sample lesson plan
A lesson plan is a very important element for teaching. Not only it provides a standard procedure of teaching, but it also helps the teacher keep track of each lesson. Moreover, it is also very helpful in some special cases, such as substitute teachers can use the lesson provided to carry out the lesson more efficiently. Although different teachers may have different teaching styles, a lesson plan should be prepared by all teachers despite the teaching style. A good lesson plan should include the following 5 components; lesson topic, class objectives, procedure, time management, and student practice.

Topic and Point of the Lesson
Lesson topic or language point if teaching English as Second Language students is the first thing that should be on the lesson plan. It shows the main topic of what will be taught in class. Lesson topics should be short and clear; for example, “Use of past tenses.” This will be enough to show that this class is about teaching students to use past tenses. We can break it down more if the topic takes up to multiple classes to teach, for example, “Use of past tenses part 1.” The lesson topic comes first on the lesson plan because it helps the teacher to keep track of what to teach, especially if one teacher teaches multiple classes.

Objectives
The class objective is the most important thing in the lesson plan. The objectives should be the focus of each lesson. It is what does the teacher wants the students to be able to do by the end of the lesson. Using the example above, in an English class that will be teaching about past tenses. The class objective can be as follow; “By the end of the lesson, students will be able to use past tenses to write simple sentences about what they have done yesterday.” Class objectives help ensure that teachers stay on the topic and cover the relevant material during the class and helps students to understand what they should be able to do by the end of the class.

The procedure is the step-by-step guide for the lesson. It should show the progress of the lesson. This means it tells what should be taught first and what should be taught second accordingly till the last activity of the lesson. Using the same topic as above with ESA methodology, a simple procedure may be as follow. First, get students to think in English about what they like to do. Second, ask students questions like what they ate yesterday. Third, filling the blank activity about student’s dinner yesterday. By looking at the procedure of the lesson plan, the teacher should be able to know what to do at each stage of the class.
Time management is very important in the lesson plan since teachers have limited time to cover the materials. The teacher must plan their class time carefully, so they don’t run out of time or finish the class too early. For example, a 50-minutes ESL class using ESA methodology can be arranged as follow. 10 minutes on the engage phase, 20 minutes on the study phase, and 20 minutes on the activate phase. It can be broken down into more if necessary.
Practice
Practices are mainly used to check if students understood the topic, and help students memorize what they have learned during the class. Teachers usually have practiced for students every class. So, it is important to put this on the lesson plan to gets carried out at the right time

Making an effective lesson plan takes time, dedication, and an understanding of students' abilities and goals. In the field of education, every teacher strives to motivate students to retain as much as possible during the course of the class and apply it.

The educator conducts the lesson as outlined in the plan in order to achieve the goal of the course. The measurement of a successful lesson plan is often proven through the use of worksheets, homework, or a test.
How to Make a Lesson Plan?
Know your students. Understand who you are going to educate. Anticipate various learning styles (visual, auditory, tactile or a combination). Tailor your lesson plan to incorporate all learning styles through independent and group exercises. If you are familiar with the students' group dynamics you may choose to plan ahead of time to increase engagement and interaction. Keep in mind that you may alter any activity to be done independently, in pairs, or in small groups. Depending on the amount of time and size of the class you can be selective or mix it up and use all of these techniques.
Set learning objectives. A learning objective is a statement that provides a detailed description of what students will be able to do upon completing a course. The statement should be simple and to the point. It is the teacher's role to help students understand how to use the information they will learn during the lesson in a practical way.
Write the objective for the lesson. Outline the main topics or ideas you wish to cover during the lesson. The overview will function as the foundation upon which the lesson will be built.
Plan your timeline. The curriculum you wish to cover may be too much for the time allotted. If this is the case, simply break your lesson plan into sections. This allows you to speed up or slow down depending on the amount of time remaining. Learning is dynamic. As you engage with students, encourage them to question and share ideas during the course of the class but be mindful of the time and the lesson plan. The lesson plan is your guide to ensure the learning goals you've set for your students are met in the time allowed.
