A simple lesson structure

Many effective lessons include:

• a short starter or introduction;
• clear learning objectives;
• teacher explanation or demonstration;
• independent, paired or group activity;
• a quick check for understanding;
• a final reflection, summary or homework task.

You do not need to use the same structure every time. Adapt the plan to the class, subject, available time and learners’ needs.

Tips for better lesson planning

• Use clear, measurable objectives.
• Allow realistic time for each activity.
• Prepare resources before the lesson begins.
• Include an alternative task in case the class finishes early.
• Make a short note after teaching about what worked and what to improve.
