LESSON PLAN FORMAT
Figure 2-5 is a sample lesson plan format that you
can copy and use to develop your own lesson plans. The
format provides a logical and smooth flow of
information for ease in delivery and learning.
Establish Contact
Introduce yourself and the subject matter. Give a
brief history of your experience to credentialize yourself
as a subject matter expert.
Establish Readiness
This step is meant to gain the attention of the
students. You may want to use analogies, personal
experiences, anecdotes, and so on, as long as they are in
good taste and relate to the lesson subject matter. Your
objective is to create a desire on the part of the student
to concentrate on the subject matter ahead.
Review
This is an optional step. You may want to review
what the students should already know or briefly cover
points made in previous lessons.
Establish Effect
This is the motivation step. Stress the reasons why
the students need to learn the skill or knowledge. This
step is designed to increase student confidence by
relating the lesson to past experiences and future
successes. Give the students the real benefit to them.
State Objectives
Review the learning objectives and teaching steps to
be attained. Make sure the students understand what
activity will be required of them and how they will be
evaluated, if applicable.

application, and evaluation.
RIGHT COLUMN. This column is used by the
instructor to reflect how the lesson will be

notes.
Planned questions, transitions, and interim
summaries may be listed here. Reminders to use
verbal/visual support, equipment, and visual aids may be
listed in the right column. Time lines for delivery and
references may also be listed here. Safety and security
notes can be reflected as well. The right column of the
body is a catchall for any information that will assist the
instructor. It should be personalized by each person
using the lesson plan.
