A lesson plan is a tool which can be used to guide the teachers and it helps the teachers in delivering a lesson smoothly and effectively in classroom to students. It tells that which specific and essential information or knowledge on a particular topic are necessary for students to learn.it also tells a way, a procedure and a methods for delivering a particular information to the students. It tells the way of measuring students’ knowledge during the lecture (formative assessment) or at the end of lecture (summative assessment) to check that how well they achieved knowledge on a particular topic which individual teacher wants to deliver. Teacher can measure the achievement of students by giving home tasks, summative and formative assessments, projects, assignments, or testing.

Every beginner will face the problems in preparing a perfect and effect lesson plan for his or her class. When an individual try to write a lesson plan he or she not focusing on that conditions which are necessary to write and they will do wrong during writing a lesson plan. An individual must know the rules and regulations of lesson planning, mostly the beginners are not familiar with the Blooms Taxonomy objective words, which will be helpful in preparing a lesson plans objectives. Beginners are unaware about the teaching methods and techniques that which method and technique would be suitable for selected or specific topic, they will be failed in preparing effective strategies to follow in classroom. It is very difficult for beginners that in early stages to find out the error in prepared lesson plan and try to make correction, because at very first stage individuals are unaware about the steps of lesson planning. The beginners’ lesson planner makes some common mistakes which are pointed out as follows:

1. Inflexibility: The beginner individuals will be failed to prepare effective lesson plans, if he or she not build flexibility in their lesson plans.
2. Planning entire work in single plan: Mostly beginners include entire work (i.e. full chapter, two to three topics) in single lesson plan, lesson planner don’t realize that class period limit is 45minutes, the beginner should realize that how much they teach in available time period and be prepared lesson plan according to time limit as they can easily cover.
3. Unfamiliarity: Unaware with steps, techniques, teaching methods, objectives, usage of audio visual aids, assessment techniques,  and strategies to follow.
4. Unprepared before teaching: beginners not plan in advance, they just prepared their lesson plan in just 5 minutes before going to classroom.

Here is a suggestion for the government and curriculum designers that before hiring a teacher for the teaching job, they should completely train beginner for teaching.
