Everyone learns different some are visual and some are more hands on. Creating a lesson plan should have all aspects of learning delivered to be able to reach the largest audience.
Using a variety of delivery methods to ensure all the students accommodations are met. Also I believe that mini-lectures are great to implent into the lectures so the students are less likely to zone out or lose interest.

be sensitive to reach as many students as possible,using various learning processes.
Be sure to use as many ways that students learn as possible. Keep your lectures to 10 - 15 minutes before asking students questions, giving a scenario for them to solve, or using video or another method that will keep them engaged.
Vary teaching methods throughout classtime and keep instruction/demonstrations to 10-15 minutes to allow maximum retention of materials covered.
In organizing your lecture notes you will need a method that cues you to the content you want to cover, points and examples you wish to highlight, and activities you want to do with your students.
There are obviously a wide variety of delivery styles. Choose the one that suits you and your subject matter best. It must also capture the attention and interest of the student.
When doing a demonstration, allow students to practice right away. Make sure that all students are able to see your demonstration.
