Lesson Planning
Even if you have a set of objectives and activities given to you, it still helps to write up a lesson plan. You'll likely find that your lessons are smoother and more focused.
The MLC's website has an overview on lesson planning, along with some good resources: http://www.themlc.org/Lesson_Planning.html
If you're ready to start writing your lessons, here are two templates you might find useful: Lesson planning template (Print version--print and fill in by hand) Lesson planning template (Form version--you can type in it!)
