Yes. Very much so.

I never did a set of lesson plans during my CFI training, but my instructor stressed having a complete, accurate, logical presentation. Most of my ground lessons were me presenting a lesson or two on the ground with a whiteboard while my my instructor played the role of a student. Throughout the presentation he would ask questions and prod like a student, as well as give me tips on how to make things more clear or organized. It was tough and took a while to get through groundschool, but I was very prepared for the oral, and teaching in the real world, for that matter.
