In lesson planning, the presentation phase is when the teacher introduces new information to the students. It is the core of the lesson plan, during which the teacher presents the topic and the key subject matter that the students need to master. The presentation should be clear and engaging, and the teacher should consider a variety of elements of delivery, including making eye contact, speaking with enthusiasm, and relating subject matter to life experiences. To create an effective lesson plan presentation, the teacher should:
- Select an appropriate topic
- Narrow the topic so that it can be comfortably delivered in the allotted time
- Create an outline of the important points to be covered
- Create visual aids, when appropriate, to enhance the understanding of the topic
- Present the information clearly
- Check for understanding
Using a PowerPoint presentation is a great way to showcase all the contents of the lesson plan, but the teacher should decide how to structure it. The teacher should take their time, appreciate the process, and create an attractive and comprehensive lesson plan that will encourage students to have deep and thoughtful learning experiences.
