SIX-POINT LESSON PLAN



SIX-POINT LESSON PLAN

1. Focus and Review

• The teacher restates the learning mind-set from the previous instruction, linking it to the new lesson. "You'll remember that yesterday we. . ."

2. Objectives

• Part of the planning; a statement of what the students will be able to do following the lesson which they could not do before it

• may or may not be stated to students; can be used as a key to student learning and the basis of Hunter's "checks for understanding"

• Incorporate the five higher order thinking skills in your sub-objectives: recall, analysis, comparison, inference, evaluation.

• Check the state's computer literacy curriculum strand for activities that support your content area objectives.

• Include resource materials and special preparations

3. Teacher Input

• The direct instruction by the teacher; the new data which are given to the student

• This step normally involves modeling or demonstrating by the teacher

• New teachers need to plan this part very carefully

4. Guided Practice

• The chance for the students to try to do what the teacher has tried to teach, as doing math problems after the teacher has taught how to do them

• During this step the teacher monitors and circulates, checking student understanding and answering individual questions

5. Independent Practice

• Students demonstrate independent mastery of the skill; ability to do the work without help

• This step is frequently done as homework

• A test or quiz may be a form of independent practice

6. Closure

• The ending of the lesson, restating or practicing what was supposed to be learned in the lesson

• Often tied to the objectives as a final check for understanding

• Determine the success of the lesson and your teaching.

Notes on lesson plans: Good lesson plans take time to develop, but they are essential to success in teaching. There is a common misconception that all six steps in the lesson plan must be included in each daily lesson, but this is simply not the case. In planning, think of the best way to involve students in the lesson and in the sequence of learning something new, then use the above steps as they aid the outlining of a learning plan.
