Lessons with a positive memorable experience need planning...

Planning Lessons:

If you fail to plan,  you plan to fail.

It starts with the lesson objectives. Very many  teachers underestimate the impact  of ensuring that the objectives are SMAT:

Simple  - use simple verbs
Measurable  - be able to judge how well
Attainable  - realistic actions
Time bound - allocate timings

Ensure that you set an objective for each ability   so,  list (everyone can do this)  should be one. For younger children,  touch,  show,  say can be used. 
Describe,  explain, recall,  compare are for a higher  level.
Apply,  construct,  utilize,  for even higher levels.

Remember Blooms Taxonomy?  Use it!

Make sure that you share the objectives with your learners at the beginning of the lesson,  so that they have  a focus for  achievement.

From time to time  refer to it audibly.

At the end of the lesson ensure that your assessment of the lesson  tests for understanding in:
the Affective Domain (attitude )
the Psychomotor Domain (skills)
the Cognitive  Domain  (knowledge )

Let them self assess (you are teaching reflective skill)  by seeing if they met the objectives for the lesson.

You are then sure that you indeed guided and moved their learning forward.

Be intentional in delivering a positive,  memorable learning experience in all your lessons this week 😎
