I believe that drafting a lesson plan is a very important part of making a day's lesson run smoothly and agree with the material's observation that flexibility is a key element to effective teaching. I've known many bad teachers who held rigidly to their plan without consideration for the students' grasp of materials and it works to the detriment of the students' understanding. In my own informal teaching experiences I've found it helpful to prepare 3-5 main ideas while expecting to cover only one or two. This has worked well because it gives me the flexibility to slow down, go deeper into the subject, or advance further as needed.
