Lesson Planning Checklist

1.

What materials do I need for this lesson? (including books, handouts,

materials for activities, blue tac, visual aids etc.)

2.

How do I want students to be sitting?

3.

Have I included a range of different interactions and activities/stages of

different paces and styles?

4.

Have I considered which vocabulary students may not know? How am I going
to deal with it? (Pre-teach, guess meaning from context, ask teacher,
dictionary work etc.?) Have I planned clear definitions and thought about how
to get meaning across?
How will I know they have understood?
Have I included sufficient information about the new items in addition to
meaning? Which words/phrases am I going to drill? Why those ones?

5.

Have I thought about how to check understanding of new language? What

concept questions will I ask?

6.

Am I absolutely clear about how activities are going to be set up? What
instructions am I going to give?

7.

Have I included all the normal stages in my lesson?

If I have left any out do I have good reason for doing so? Have I made this
clear for my marker?

8.

When planning timings have I allowed sufficient time for giving instructions,
giving things out, regrouping, vocabulary teaching and feedback spots?

9.

Have I anticipated possible student problems and thought about how to deal
with them?

10.

Have I referenced any material that is not my own?
