A lecture is a lesson, and all lessons require planning.
Planning keep lectures on the educational track by creating a structure for the content.
The structure helps students process the lecture's information and incorporate it into their own knowledge bases. Referencing educational textbooks would reveal varying formats for lesson plans. The template provided has been developed for the specific instructional requirements of a lecture presentation. The initial four slides of the template can be described as an introduction to the lecture. The content of these slides is designed to motivate and engage students and to provide objectives by which students can self-assess their understanding.
