Objectives:

Warm up: A warm-up can be anything to start class/lesson. It can be an energizer or cheer for a more informal lesson. In a classroom or formal setting (or with an older audience), a puzzle or question to get the students thinking would be more appropriate.

Presentation: Presentation is new information. The presentation can take a variety of forms:

·  Reading selection

·  Soliciting students' knowledge about a specific point

·  Teacher centered explanation

·  Listening selection

·  Short video

·  Student presentation

The presentation should include the main "meat" of the lesson.

Practice (Controlled Practice): Under your supervision, the students are given a chance to practice and apply the skills you taught them through direct instruction. The controlled practice section of the lesson provides students direct feedback on their comprehension of the task at hand. Generally, controlled practice involves some type of exercise. Remember that an exercise doesn't necessarily mean dry, rote exercises, although these can be used as well. Controlled practice should help the student focus on the main task and provide them with feedback - either by the teacher or other students.

Production (Free Practice): Through (homework) assignments or other independent assignments, your students will demonstrate whether or not they absorbed the lesson's learning goals. Through free practice, students will integrate the new information with previous knowledge and their own critical thinking.

Assessment/Wrap up: Conclude your presentation, and spend a short time discussing what your participants produced. Feedback allows students to check their understanding of the lesson's topic. Feedback can be done quickly at the end of class by asking students questions about the topic (target lesson). Another approach is to have students discuss the topic (target lesson) in small groups, once again giving students the chance to improve their understanding on their own.
