Provision should be made in the plan for a summary at the end of the lesson period, and for the making of the final impression which the class are to carry away with them. Nor must the assignment of the next lesson be forgotten. Probably no small proportion of the characteristic failure of pupils to prepare their lessons comes from lack of definite assignments showing the child just what he is expected to do, and how to do it. Details of a typical lesson plan.--Let us suppose that we are to teach the lesson of obedience from the story of Adam and Eve to children of early primary age. Our _Lesson Plan_ might be something as follows: I. _The Aim or Purpose of the Lesson_--OBEDIENCE. 1. Knowledge or information to be given the class-- a. Of the Bible story itself. b. Of the fact that God requires obedience. c. That disobedience brings sorrow and punishment. d. That children owe obedience to parents and teachers. 2. Attitudes, and feeling response to be sought. a. Interest in and liking for the Bible story. b. Appreciation of God's many gifts to his children. c. Desire to please God with obedience. d. Sorrow for acts of disobedience. e. Respect for authority of home, school and law. 3. Applications to the child's life and conduct. a. Acts of obedience to God in being kind, cheerful, and helpful to others. b. Cheerful obedience in home and school with no lagging nor ill nature. c. Prayer for forgiveness for any act of disobedience. II. _Material or Subject Matter to be Presented._ 1. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden. The version of the story is important. The original from the Bible is too difficult. If the lesson material does not offer the story in satisfactory form, go to one of the many books of Bible stories and find a rendering suited to your class. Be able to tell the story well. 2. Pictures of Adam and Eve in the Garden. Be sure the picture is interesting, well executed, and that it shows attractive and beautiful things. 3. Prayer on obedience. The prayer to be brief and simple, asking God to help each one to obey him and to obey father and mother, and to forgive us when we do not obey. 4. Music. If possible, the music may correlate with the thought of the lesson. If not, let it be devotional and adapted to the children in words and melody. 5. Handwork or other form of expression material. Cutting and pasting pictures in notebooks; coloring, or other such work, to be done either in the classroom or at home. III. _Mode of Procedure--the Presentation, or Instruction._ 1. Greetings to the class--opening prayer and song. 2. Introduction of the lesson and telling of the story.
