Lesson planning is similar where it will lists out how the lesson will proceed step by step through the different activities within different phases and also how much time each step will take.

Secrets of Designing a Working Lesson Plan
A lesson plan is one of the English teacher's most useful tools. A lesson plan makes a teacher think concretely about what they want the students to have learned by the end of the lesson, and the steps for making that possible within the allotted timeframe. It allows a teacher to estimate how long various activities will take, and to think about what students will ideally learn from each activity.

Is Lesson Planning Worthwhile?
Lesson planning is a frequently used tool by teachers to provide a lesson's direction, aim, activity outline and a record of the material taught. It tends to be a very individual exercise with some teachers preferring to do little planning and others preferring to plan thoroughly. Factors that might impact on this preference are likely to be a teacher's level of experience and also possibly the school's requirement for a teacher to follow a set syllabus.
