LESSON PLAN PHASES
Introduce the key concepts, topic, main idea: Get students on the right track.
This step may be a note on the board, a diagram, or a probing question of the
day’s lesson plan.
Pull students into the excitement of learning: Seize students’ attention with
items like an amazing fact, a funny quirk, a challenge, or other mind ticker.
Making the learning relevant: Explain how this lesson extends past learning and
leads to future learning – that is, the significance of the concepts, skills, and
focus of the lesson.
Focus on specific standards, objectives, goals: link the lesson to the standards,
and let students know exactly what they will know and be able to do as a
result of this lesson.
Introduce key vocabulary: see it, say it, read it, write it.
Ask questions to clarify ideas and to add knowledge: Engage student in the
learning and build background with probing questions.
Brainstorm main ideas: fill students’ head with ideas, concepts, possibilities;
allow them to expand and clarify their thinking.
Provide teacher input: Lecture, add key points and new information, read the
text or articles, and solve problems. Present the body of the lesson. This may be
a whole-class lecture, a small-group activity with teacher supervision, or a
partner activity with teacher supervision. The learning is active (not silent
reading without specific goals or mindless completion of a worksheet).
Provide time for practice and review: Allow students time to practice under
your supervision. You and the students work together.
Bring the lesson to closure: Link the lesson phases and information together.
Summarize the learning to the day, and discuss how it fits into the big vision for
learning. Have students demonstrate what they know and can do by writing a
brief note to hand in as they leave; the not may include questions, problems or
ideas on the learning. Alternatively, they may write in their journals or explain
their understanding to a partner.
