did your lesson plans encompass a particular flight-lesson-by-flight-lesson syllabus, or individual tasks?

I've started my CFI notebook, and my first groud lesson covered the 1.A of the PPL-Pract Test Standards which was about the aircraft documents, FARs PPL limitations and privileges, etc... But then that night at ground school, I came to the conclusion that instead of this, I might want to organize the notebook into lessons- preflight lesson, starting lesson, taxi-out lesson, before takeoff... like, individual segments of flight, so that the student can swallow each portion of the flight.

Sorry, I'm only an instrument student myself, but my flight instructor wants me doing CFI ground school now so that by the time I have to visit the FSDO, they won't be giving me any chance of a pink slip.
 
I'm almost finished with mine, and this is how I have done it. My lesson plans are more for me as a guideline of what I need to cover, instead of a lesson plan for the student. With this in mind I have one for every manuever explaining what the manuever is for, how it is performed, what the completion standards are(PTS), and the common errors. This has made it much easier to explain each one as I get in the airplane since I have an idea of what needs to be covered. As for the ground lessons, I have been helping with a private pilot ground school at the flight school I am taking lessons, so what I have done has been to take the syllabus for the ground school and make notes on what needs to be covered in each topic before the class, and as the class progresses I have notes on all the topics that will be covered. This also helps because I am hoping to get hired there and I will have ground school notes that will go along with the Part 141 ground syllabus that the school teaches.
 
I've sketched out this Notebook format:

I. TOC
II. My lesson-giving notes from Lloyd’s ground school
III. PPL Flight lessons + maneuvers
IV. PPL ground lessons
V. Commercial flight lessons + maneuvers
VI. Commercial Ground lessons
VII. Visual aids in paper format
VIII. Useful Articles I’ve collected
IX. Special section on flight planning
X. Signoffs I need to know
XI. Student progress sheet- keep one for each student
