The steps I take when Planning a lesson: Like baking a cake
1. Find a recipe: Read the lesson a week or two ahead of time
2. Shop for ingredients: Pray to be aware of circumstances or object lessons in your environment that might contribute to what they learners need to hear
3. Research cute designs: Watch and be pondering the topic of the lesson for a week or two
4. Put all ingredients together and bake: A few days before the lesson, sacrifice something (movie, sleep, whatever) and go over lesson a second time and come up with great interactive questions to ask class
5. Decorate to your heart’s content: The day before or morning of, read through lesson again (seek and expect Revelation!) Highlight what the learners will be doing, think of visual aids, tie together all themes, think of individual needs, and anything else that the spirit prompts you to do to be prepared.
May the Lord bless you as you Teach His Children with the power of the Spirit and fortify them for an ever increasing wicked world! The Spirit and Revelation will only come to us IF we sacrifice and are prepared. Create some beautiful cakes!
