Introduction
Lesson planning is an activity of teacher with an aim to improve the knowledge base of
the students. There is requirement to undertake proper planning while developing a lesson. The
main aim of lesson planning is provide necessary career growth & development opportunities to
the students (Nagro, Fraser and Hooks, 2019). In the present study, I am performing the role of a
teacher where I am responsible to develop an effective lesson plan so that I can contribute in
learning and development of the students. The report will cover different aspects of learning plan
along with an exemplary learning plan. At end, the learning lesson plan will evaluate and assess
based on different evaluation methods. Further, the use of results of analysis and evaluation for
further development will also include in the following study.
TASK 1
1.1)Aim of lesson planning
The main aim of lesson planning is to create a complete plan in order to improve the
knowledge base of learners. It is the objective teachers and learners wish to achieve at the end of
lesson. Here, activities are planned to attain the pre-defined aims. Basically, it shows what a
teacher wishes to achieve at the end of lesson. In addition, the first step of lesson plan is defining
the aim. Here, the aim is the point of the whole thing. For this, it is important to keep focus on
the curriculum and the way a teacher is going to accomplish the goals. Lesson plans make
teachers enable to break down each lesson into a particular and pre-defined flow along with
specific activities of classroom (Kapici and Akcay, 2020). It helps in preparing a proper schedule
with which teachers can stick. Additionally, it develops confidence to teacher in order to know
that the timing of classroom is being utilized effectively so that they will not repeat the similar
lesson over the period of time.

1.2) Characteristics of effective lesson plan
Build upon students prior knowledge: While developing lesson plan, it is important to
focus on prior knowledge of the students so that they can easily connect to the lessons. Apart
from the content, there is also requirement to emphasis on the prior knowledge of the students to
make effective use of lesson plans.
Flexibility: To get positive outcomes, it is important to make a flexible lesson plan. This
should allow flexibility by including number of varieties, activities and tasks in the lesson to
interact with the students effectively (Choy, Thoma and Yoon, 2017).
Allot time for student involvement: During the lesson plan, the activities need to
arrange in such a manner that learners can easily get engage and involve in the learning process.
This will generate precious opportunities for learners to ensure growth in the future period of
time.
1.3) How to design a lesson plan that incorporate the goal of learners
Lesson plans are prepared to fulfill the needs and requirements of individual learners.
During development of lesson plan, it is essential to consider the goal of learners. It will help in
enhancing the interest of learners in learning new concepts. In this regard, the lesson plan needs
to design in the below mentioned way:

 Firstly, clearly define the objectives what a teacher wishes to teach the students
throughout the lesson.
 There is requirement to write an introduction for the lesson plan.
 In addition, there is requirement to include necessary activities to keep the students
engaged so that they learn the desired skills and capabilities.
 An effective lesson plan needs to include opportunities to practice so that the teacher can
provide them feedback accordingly (Owiny and et. al., 2019).
 There should be a summary to define the closure of lessons
 At end, there is requirement to adopt necessary strategies in order to assess the
knowledge and skills of the learners.
2.1) Learning style and taxonomies when planning a lesson
To make effective use of lesson planning, it is imperative to use different learning styles
with an aim to improve the knowledge of the students. For effective learning, it is imperative to
maintain high motivation level among students.
Maslow’s motivation theory:
Psychological needs: All the students are required to fulfill their psychological needs including
food, water, oxygen and more.
Safety needs: After fulfillment of psychological needs, students get attracted towards safety
needs where they wish to get safe and secure environment within the classroom (Bassett, Bowler
and Newton, 2019).
Love & Belongingness: While studying in the classroom, every student wishes to have a
particular group. So, they try to build strong relationship with peer students.

Esteem: Here, students wish to make a strong position within the classroom. For this
purpose, they think that peers think positively for them.
Self-actualization: After successful completion of all the stages, students wish to achieve
something by utilizing their full potential & capabilities. Here , they have been achieve the
utmost potential by making use of internal capabilities efficiently.
2.2) Explain how lesson plans incorporate learning style and taxonomies
VARK learning style
VARK model is based on preference of learning style of the students. This model suggest
that there are different types of learners hence, it is important to use different learning styles to
teach the students in the best possible way. In the respective learning model, the four major
learning styles are mentioned below:
