Planning is a very important part of being a teacher. It helps you to:
be well organised,
to have a clear idea about what you’re teaching,
when you plan you have a chance to rehearse the lesson/go through it, and
identify the resources you need.
Planning should be done in a clear consice way so that any teacher should be able to pick it up and teach from it.
