It All Begins With the Plan![[image:Unknown-5.jpeg width="280" height="211" align="right"]]
There are three essential components to teaching a lesson:
 * Planning  the lesson
 * <span style="background-color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Executing <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> the lesson with students
 * <span style="background-color: #00ffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Assessing <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> students to see if the concept has been learned

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">We will be focusing on the planning process for the next few weeks. There are lesson plan formats used in the classroom. When you become a teacher, your school may require you to use a specific form. Below are lesson plan forms used in Education and Training. The components are commonly used in most plans. (Note: The forms are similar to those used in the TAFE or FEA lesson plan competitions. Juniors - think about entering next year!)
