EASY LESSON PLAN STYLE

1. INTRODUCTION
   

   Include in the Introduction, a statement which summarizes what has been going on in the classroom, adding to it a statement of what the class will be doing. This is a good place for a transition, an advance organizer, or a signal.
   

   Basically, your introduction should be something which interests the students, as well as gets them in the correct mind set. Madelline Hunter's term for this introduction is "ANTICIPATORY SET." Also in the Introduction, you should state the objectives of the day. There are two types of objectives: Instructional Objectives and Behavioral Objectives.
   

2. BODY
   

   The body of your lesson plan is where you start the day's agenda. Begin by presenting the material. If there is a certain assignment or a criteria which you want students to follow (as in most lessons), you should have a MODELING statement and/or demonstration. (Example: put the terms on the left hand side of the board and definitions on the right, making the statement that they should do the same on their homework vocabulary lesson).
   

   Input follows as the actual presentation of the material to be studied. It is a good idea to include a list of materials which you intend to use as part of the presentation. This could be a simple statement of what the students will do to achieve the objectives and learn the necessary material for the lesson and/or unit.
   

   The third step of the lesson's body should be GUIDED PRACTICE, where you help them find answers or question them and find answers together. The teacher should be present and accessible to students during this time.
   

3. CONCLUSION
   

   The conclusion of your lesson might possibly include an assignment, termed INDEPENDENT PRACTICE, for students to work on without the help of a teacher. This could be homework, a quiz, test, or class work where students are expected to find their own answers, alone or with a group.
   

   Before dismissal, students should be given some statement of CLOSURE, or a comprehensive wrap-up, best if achieved through questions and student contribution.
