                Towards that end, five primary schools were selected means of stratified random sampling techniques. also, one hundred teachers were selected as respondents from the sampled schools.
                The research instrument was tittled “teachers attiude towards writing of lesson notes questionnaire” The statistical toolsused for that analysis were frequently count and percentages
                                The result indicate that :
                It is necessary for both relative new and experienced teachers to write lesson notes. It is necessary for the relatively new teachers to prepare or write detail lesson notes but experienced ones may be allowed to write summarized lesson notes
                Teachers have negative attitude towards correcting their lesson notes with red ink, especially when such corrections are wide spread


5:2 Conclusions

They are of the view that lesson note writing enhances good teaching learning situation, as observed by farrants(1981)and Kelly(2002). The only snags are that, they felt that experienced teachers may write not so detailed lesson notes while new entrants into the teaching profession as well as those on teaching practice need to write highly detailed lesson notes.
                The respondents did not see anything wrong in correcting the notes but prevalence of red ink correction upsets there


5:3. Implication of the study

                Infact the writing of lesson notes is a significant area of aspect of teaching which should be given higher                 consideration because is the bedrock of all educational attainment, be it secondary or tertiary education
5:4. Recommendation
                In view of the result obtained in this research the following recommendations are hereby made:-
1. A teacher should be given moderate (and average) numbers of periods per week so that he will be able to write effective and detailed lesson plans on each lesson. It is suggested that three to four lessons per day should be alright
2.There should br good remunerations for teachers in from of salaries, allowances, promotions, regular upward review  of conditions of service etc so as to motivate devoted teaches by preparing good lesson notes
3. There should be regular opportunities for teaches to attend various staff development programmes such as study-leave-with pay and in-service-training as well as regular far and near professional conference, workshops and seminars that will undoubtedly boost them on the job performance, especially the art of lesson note writing
4. The head master, assistance headmaster, and heads of department (who are usually charged with the responsibility of reading and correcting teachers lesson notes)need to be friendly and human in dealing with the writers of such notes, no doubt, all errors and fallacies must be pointed out and corrected , but the teachers concerned  should be call upon so that the better ways of witting the lesson notes can be explained to them in a friendly manner.
5. Finally, teacher should feel too big or experienced to be corrected or to accept valid correction. Unnecessary arrogance has no place in teaching and such behavior should be discontinuance and if it continues sections should be meted on the offenders
