Lesson plans are shared all over. If you google lesson plan thousands of unique lessons will pop up in seconds. They can also be shared by word of mouth. If a teacher has a great lesson plan, they may share that lesson with another teacher in the future and allow them to use it their own classroom.  I have attached an example of a way that a lesson plan is shared. I completed an assignment in a previous course in which I collected many lesson plans on various topics and grouped them into a slide show for future use. Now I am sharing them with you.

# data[].attributes.body
A lesson plan is a guide used by a teacher to carry out a lesson. It often includes the goal, how it will be taught, and what students should take away from a lesson. They can be very detailed or more vague. This often depends on if the lesson is something that a teacher has taught for many years, in which case a detailed lesson plan would not be necessary. In contrast, if a first year teacher was leaving a lesson plan for a substitute teacher, a more detailed lesson plan would be beneficial.
