Lesson Plan

It is beyond debate that children make the best learners. This is so because they are inquisitive and take deep interest in whatever comes in front of them.

This is to say that there are total 10 hours that the teacher will be able to spend time with her students and achieve the objectives of the lesson plan (Ajzen & Fishbein, 2009).
