Teachers should adequately prepare for each lesson, because it serves as the fundamental part of teaching lessons to the students in an adequate and orderly way. This indicates to those you are imparting the knowledge that you are organized and have things well put together, therefore they will feel good in knowing that this is a well-grounded teacher.  It covers the prerequisites, objectives, body of content, conclusion and the teacher’s reflection of the class pertaining to the feedback received. Additionally, the teacher can make note of class activities to cover, materials used and homework follow-up for the next class.  Lesson plans assist greatly with the order of presentation and delivery and it guides the teaching and learning exercise allowing for classroom efficiency.  I also notice that writing a lesson plan helps one to reflect on what has already been covered; this helps the teacher to avoid repeating over the same contents in other class sessions, in cases where one might easily forget. Lesson planning is vital and crucial in teaching.

I think every educator should write lesson plans even though they have taught the lesson many times over, due to the fact that technology gives rise to new information every day, of which, students have in their very hands the very gadgets to research recently acquired information. Therefore renewing the structure of the lesson plan will bring up-to-date, and will not leave the teacher behind in this case. With this in mind, recent and updated information always help to improve learning and keeps things current and in perspective.  Putting a different twist so to speak on the same information regularly, will assist with using the different teaching and learning styles. Allowing one to add and subtract information where necessary, leading to help the students and importantly the teacher to not be left behind.
