Unit 5 discusses how lessons may be planned and the importance of planning. It has been suggested that lesson planning is not wise because it can cause classes to be very rigid and inflexible. However, it is always a good idea to have some structure to each lesson and inexperienced teachers may have difficulty in keeping the class under control without a plan. Records of previous lessons are one benefit of lesson planning. Records help the teacher see what has been learned in previous lessons and if the learning methods were beneficial. They also show the teacher what changes have been made and why. For these reasons, lesson records are also helpful to any substitute teacher. Another benefit of lesson planning is knowing the appropriate amount of time to spend on each lesson phase so that the activities fit neatly within the lesson time. Lesson planning can act as a guide to the teacher during the class sessions. Having an overview helps the teacher see what phase and activity are to be done next. In addition, planning shows the teacher personal and student aims for the lesson and helps the teacher anticipate struggles he and the students may have. By anticipating possible struggles, the teacher can plan solutions to these problems and help himself and the students to overcome them. Finally, knowing what the teacher himself and the students are working to accomplish helps the teacher plan lessons around these goals.
