A lesson plan makes you more organized and will help you encounter any unexpected situation that may occur.
A lesson plan template will guide instructors through each step of the lesson development process. The template will also help to go through each step so instructors won't forget important steps.

Lesson plans are important because they help instructors stay organized and ensure that the material is delivered clearly and effectively during class. They also help manage time by outlining activities, resources, and assessments that support student learning. Planning ahead allows instructors to adjust lessons based on student knowledge and keeps students engaged throughout the class period.
Lesson plans are great for helping to keep instructors on track during with delivering the course material during each class as well as planning out activities to help with classroom management. They are create resources in case an instructor has to be out and a sub is needed to cover a class. I like to use them as a resource to help new instructors especially those that have never formally taught.
Creating a more detailed lesson plan with time allocated for particular activities is useful. I also like the idea of saving the lesson plans in multiple places.

The tip to save lesson plans in case of [my] illness is helpful :)
From this module, I learned the importance of writing a clear, student-focused rationale and a detailed procedure in my lesson plans. A concise rationale keeps the lesson meaningful and relevant, while a well-structured procedure guides the flow of instruction and supports effective time management. I also see the value of keeping organized lesson plans and a lesson plan folder so I can easily refer back to past materials and improve my instruction each time I teach the course. I plan to apply these strategies to stay consistent, prepared, and more effective in the classroom.
The reminder to keep printed documentation organized to have your lesson plans readily available was extremely valuable.
It's good practice to save lesson plans so that way if admin comes in to observe they would be able to follow along.
Saving lesson plans helps you and others when you are out and adjusting lectures in the future, so that you may mix it up to keep it interesting.
