INTRODUCTION
Teaching and learning process in the classroom can vary concerning the ability, experience,
and training of the teacher, which is why to standardize instruction, every good and effective
teacher requires a lesson plan. The preparation of a lesson plan is important for clarity and
comprehension regarding how the entire learning process will be handled as well as how
students can understand and store the knowledge that is being passed onto them.
Lesson plans are vital for helping students accomplish their goals within a learning environment
on a short-term and long-term basis. Lesson plans based on clearly defined Student Learning
Outcomes (SLOs) concerning the textbooks ensure students are taught the required curriculum
most efficiently. These ensure the teacher is adequately prepared and has a clear sense of
direction for their lessons. In the context of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Lesson Plans are designed
to support teachers to implement new pedagogical methods and help provide direction to
instruction in the classrooms.
Many teachers in Pakistan have come to rely on the textbook for teaching. They come into the
classroom, ask students to open the textbook on a certain page, have students read a portion of
the text, paraphrase the same and then ask students to answer questions that require them to
reproduce material from the text. They teach every subject (the exception being mathematics)
and every lesson in the same way. In some cases, the teacher is unable to complete the
curriculum or impart the SLOs for a particular grade to the students effectively. Using lesson
plans ensure standardization in teaching quality and provides a clear goal with relevant
activities that can help students learn more effectively and achieve curriculum milestones.
A lesson plan is a description of the instructions for the purpose of teaching the contents of the
textbook of a particular subject and achieving Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs).
A lesson plan is the road map for teachers for the achievement of SLOs effectively during class
time. The teachers design appropriate learning activities and develop strategies to obtain
feedback on students’ learning. A carefully constructed lesson plan allows the teacher to
enter the classroom with more confidence and maximizes the chance of having a meaningful
learning experience with the students.
GRADE 2 iii
Development Process of a Lesson Plan
Lesson plan usually starts with a thinking process. This thinking process is basically completed
in four parts.
First, determine the SLO; that is, what the children will learn, what they will be able to do
upon completing the activities or work of the lesson.
Second, determine what the students already know, before beginning of the lesson that
can lead into a new curriculum of the day.
Third, determine at least one way to assist the students in learning the new curriculum.
Fourth, determine a way to evaluate the learning outcomes of the students.
iv GRADE 2
PREFACE
For this purpose, the Directorate of Curriculum and Teacher Education Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
at Abbottabad, has been entrusted the responsibility of developing and reviewing teachers’
in-service and pre-service training materials for the improvement of pedagogical skills of
teachers.
These quality improving initiatives also include development of teacher’s guides of scripted
lesson plans at primary level that support teachers to implement new pedagogical methods.
These teacher guides are intended to assist teachers with the provision of content, effective
teaching methods and tools for measuring what learners have gained. These guides will
ensure an effective and participative engagement of teachers with students as activities
included in these lesson plans are student-centered.
These teacher guides of Lesson Plans based on Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) of
Curriculum 2006 were developed for the first time in 2013. In 2018-2019, the Directorate of
Curriculum & Teachers’ Education Khyber Pakhtunkhwa undertook the task to revise and
develop the Scripted Lesson Plans for Grade I-III according to the Academic Calendar on
missing Students Learning Outcomes (SLOs).
As the Curriculum has been revised and new textbooks are developed in 2020 for Grades
Pre-I to V, hence the need has been felt that these Lesson Plans for Grades I to V are to be
revised, developed and aligned with the updated Curriculum 2020, accordingly.
The Directorate of Curriculum and Teachers Education Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is also thankful
to the Technical Assistance of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Sector Programme (KESP) in
the finalization of these lesson plans.
