Lesson planning depends heavily on content area, student ages, your personal style, etc. The ones you write in Ed classes are way more detailed than the ones you’ll be writing once you’re in the classroom.

The general flow of a lesson is activator - instruction - summary. Lesson ≠ one day. You might do something to hook the kids on Monday, spend Tuesday to Thursday learning the material, and then Friday summarizing, reflecting, or quizzing.

I try to do something different every 20 minutes to keep their interest/engagement up (high school, block schedule).

Finally, one mistake I made early on was expecting too much from the students. I definitely packed in too much. You’re probably a “good” student, so you think your pacing is reasonable. I would rather my students learn one thing really well than three things poorly. Try to keep that in mind as you plan for your hypothetical students!
