Do you mean lesson plan? A lesson plan is a memory aid of the lesson. It forces the teacher to be systmetic. It serves as a map or blueprint that directs teaching. It sets where the students are, where does the teacher want to take them and how to get there. Finally it gives the teacher a feeling of confidence.

Schools usually prescribe a format of the lesson plan. But a simple lesson plan consists of the following:
1. Objectives
2. Subject Matter
3. Materials
4. Procedure
5. Homework
