5. Reviewing the lesson
After teaching a lesson, it is important to take time to review how well the lesson went. This involves asking questions such as the following:
1. Did my students enjoy the lesson?
2. Were there sufficient activities to engage my students throughout the lesson?
3. Which aspects of my lesson were the most successful? Which were the least successful?
4. Did I manage to achieve what I set out to teach? Were my objectives met? What evidence do I have for this?
5. What difficulties did my lesson pose?
6. Will I teach my lesson in the same way next time?
In thinking about questions like these after a particularly successful (or unsuccessful) lesson, it is useful to write a brief report from time to time. This could be either an entry in a teaching journal, a list of key points that you want to
think about further, or annotations to your lesson plan. Whatever method you choose, such lesson reports can serve to trigger a better understanding of what worked well and why, or to prompt you to rethink a teaching strategy if aspects of the lesson did not turn out as well as you expected. Since every lesson you teach has a life of its own, you will often find that even if a lesson worked perfectly on one occasion, teaching it in the same way the next time may not have the same results. Teaching always involves adjusting your lesson plans according to the way the lesson evolves. In other words, it requires you to build a lesson around your plan based on the students’ reactions to the lesson, rather than enacting your lesson plan based on your prior intentions for the lesson.

You will need to develop clear and specific objectives. The following important components must be included in all lesson plans:
