Lesson plans guide instructional delivery of required
curricular content. A good lesson plan is aligned to academic state or
national standards and the district adopted curriculum, if available.
Strong lesson plans include required components and define what the
students are learning to do, how the teacher will teach those skills,
and how the students and teacher will know if they have mastered the
content. An examination of lesson plans can improve understanding of
instructional planning to meet all student needs in a diverse classroom.

Use the “Rhetorical Devices Lesson Plan”
