     Lesson Plan Study

Lesson planning begins with a mission statement.  Once you have a clear well defined mission statement, it will be obvious what you and your students need to do to achieve the mission and how to determine achievement.

Do not despair, you will soon be able to skip these paragraphs and skip directly to the lesson plan generator. It will be then that you will only need your favorite search engine, text, lesson plan archive, teacher's manual and whatever else you and your colleagues agreed upon. The lesson plans you were previously using will still be a resource. The difference is that now you have a lesson plan generator and access to lesson content and resources that were not previously available.

If you are new to the lesson plan writing, then skip to Part B for a lesson plan writing lesson; otherwise, begin writing your lesson plan using the many resources we have provided.

Part A

 If you already know how to write lesson plans, then the Lesson Plan Study is here to provide you with information sources: libraries, search engines, and an encyclopedia.

If you need one lesson plan or a set of lesson plans, then those can also be found here.  We have linked you to those possibilities.  If you don’t find what you need at these links then use the many search engines we have provided.

There are many links on this page that will take you elsewere.  You can return to the Lesson Plan Study with your back arrow or by reloading LessonPlans.com.

Part B

Three lesson plan forms:

1. Theme based lesson plans (thematic lesson plans).
2. Behavioral and learning based lesson plans (Behavioral objective lesson plans)
3. Mixed: general thematic objective with specific behaviorial and learning objectives.

Your Classroom Textbooks

The text book authors have organized your text and associated materials so that they fit either a full or half school year. They also flow from beginning to end.

You will see that the table of contents is also an outline of the text that can also be used as a course outline. It can also be used as a source for unit objectives.

The text preface contains the objective of the text and the educational approach. If the text is based on behavioralism, then that will be disclosed. If it is a thematic approach, then that too will be disclosed in the preface.

Lesson Plan Objectives/Goals (Objectives and goals are synonymous.)

Syllabus: A summary outline of a course of study.

Objectives take one of two forms: thematic or behavioral. However they can be mixed or hierarchal.

Thematic objectives can be thought of as a general high level objective that funtion as a general guide, whereas the behavioral and learning objective can be specific. It is possible to think of behavioral and learning objectives as a subset of a thematic objective. However, this does not need to be the case. Usually, all objectives will be behaviorial or thematic. Only when they are mixed, would the thematic be the general objective with the behavior and learning objectives being a subset of the of the general thematic objective.

You need to determine your school policy regarding objectives That will determine your approach. If you discover that this issue is open, then
whatever you want to do regarding this is your choice.

Much of what you are concerned about has already been done for you. Once you become familiar with the process, you will be able to cut, paste and print. Soon you will have more time for the important part of the eduation process: teaching.
