What do you want to students to know by the end of the lesson. Organise content from simple to complex. Move from the simple to the more complicated. Learning should be gradual and progressive. Start from where students are and what they already know. Link the activities with a meaningful common thread. Each activity should be a rung on the ladder, allowing them to progress in their learning. Get the students to understand the link between the lesson and industry. Contextualize learning materials and use real-world content. The lesson plan should be able to answer the question "How will I use this knowledge in real life?". Encourage your students to solve, investigate, reflect and create. Encourage your students to resolve, investigate, reflect, and create. Allow them to improvise. Open the floor up to debate and let them express their opinions freely. Avoid fireworks. Avoid fireworks in class. Be practical. Everything you do should aim to facilitate learning. Make it motivating and awesome but always meaningful.
