In order to plan lessons efficiently, a teacher really needs to have LOTS of resources stockpiled in advance. One helpful - though time-consuming - technique is the MegaPrez. This ugly word describes a long sequence of presentation slides which represents an entire unit, or in some cases an entire course. These mighty beasts may contain over a hundred slides of text and graphics.
The focus here is on content. Obviously if other aspects are available (assessment, exercises, extension work) they can be included, but the focus is on the raw material of the course - the need-to-know factual stuff.
At the risk of stating the obvious: this material is NOT suitable for feeding to students. However it IS suitable to raid in order to prepare your student presentations. When you are doing your REAL lesson planning, you really shouldn't have to worry about presenting the basic factual material. This should be pre-prepared in a legible, intelligible, well-layed-out form.
