A lesson plan is a detailed step-by-step guide that outlines the teacher's objectives for what the students will accomplish during the course of the lesson and how they will learn it. Creating a lesson plan involves setting goals, developing activities, and determining the materials that you will use. All good lesson plans contain specific components or steps, and all essentially derive from the seven-step method developed by Madeline Hunter, a UCLA professor and education author.

The Hunter Method, as it came to be called, includes these elements: objective/purpose, anticipatory set, input modeling/modeled practice, check for understanding, guided practice, independent practice, and closure.

Regardless of the grade level you teach, Hunter's model has been adopted and used in various forms for decades by teachers across the nation and at every grade level. Follow the steps in this method, and you'll have a classic lesson plan that will be effective at any grade level. It doesn't have to be a rigid formula; consider it a general guideline that will help any teacher cover the necessary parts of a successful lesson.

Objective/Purpose

Students learn best when they know what they are expected learn and why, says the U.S. Department of Education. The agency uses an eight-step version of Hunter's lesson plan, and its detailed explanations are well worth reading. The agency notes:

"The purpose or objective of the lesson includes why students need to learn the objective, what they will be able to do once they have met the criterion, (and) how they will demonstrate learning... The formula for the behavioral objective is: The learner will do what + with what + how well."

For example, a high school history lesson might focus on first-century Rome, so the teacher would explain to students that they are expected to learn the salient facts about the empire's government, its population, daily life, and culture.

Anticipatory Set

The anticipatory set involves the teacher working to get students excited about the upcoming lesson. For that reason, some lesson plan formats actually put this step first. Creating an anticipatory set "means doing something that creates a sense of anticipation and expectancy in the students," says Leslie Owen Wilson, Ed.D. in " The Second Principle." This can include an activity, a game, a focused discussion, viewing a film or video clip, a field trip, or reflective exercise.

For example, for a second-grade lesson on animals, the class might take a field trip to a local zoo or watch a nature video. By contrast, in a high school class getting ready to study William Shakespeare's play, " Romeo and Juliet," students might write a short, reflective essay on a love they lost, such as a former boyfriend or girlfriend.

Input Modeling/Modeled Practice

This step-sometimes called direct instruction - takes place when the educator actually teaches the lesson. In a high school algebra class, for example, you might write an appropriate math problem on the board, and then show how to solve the problem in a relaxed, leisurely pace. If it's a first-grade lesson on important sight words to know, you might write the words on the board and explain what each word means.

This step should be very visual, as the DOE explains:

"It is important for the students to 'see' what they are learning. It helps them when the teacher demonstrates what is to be learned."

Modeled practice, which some lesson plan templates list as a separate step, involves walking the students through a math problem or two as a class. You might write a problem on the board and then call on students to help you solve it, as they also write the problem, the steps to solve it, and then the answer. Similarly, you might have first-grade students copy the sight words as you spell each out verbally as a class.

Check for Understanding

You need to make sure students understand what you have taught. One easy way to do this is to ask questions. If you're teaching a lesson on simple geometry to seventh-graders, have students practice with the information you just taught, says the ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development).

And, be sure to guide the learning. If students don't seem to grasp the concepts you've just taught, stop and review. For the seventh-graders learning geometry, you may need to repeat the previous step by showing more geometry problems-and how to solve them-on the board.

Guided and Independent Practice

If you're feeling like the lesson plan involves a lot of guidance, you're right. At the heart, that's what teachers do. Guided practice provides each student a chance to demonstrate her grasp of new learning by working through an activity or exercise under the teacher's direct supervision, according to Iowa State University. During this step, you might move around the room to determine students' level of mastery and provide individual help as needed. You may need to pause to show students how to successfully work through problems if they are still struggling.

Independent practice, by contrast, can include homework or seatwork assignments, which you give to the students to complete successfully without the need for supervision or intervention, says the Rockwood R-VI School District in Eureka, Missouri.

Closure

In this important step, the teacher wraps things up. Think of this phase as a concluding section in an essay. Just as a writer wouldn't leave her readers dangling without a conclusion, so too, the teacher should review all key points of the lesson. Go over any areas where students might still be struggling. And, always, asked focused questions: If students can answer specific questions about the lesson, they likely have learned the material.

If not, you may need to revisit the lesson tomorrow.

Tips and Hints

Always gather all needed supplies ahead of time, and have them ready and available at the front of the room. If you'll be conducting a high school math lesson and all students will need are their textbooks, lined paper, and calculators, that makes your job easier. Do have extra pencils, textbooks, calculators, and paper available, though, in case any students have forgotten these items.

If you're conducting a science experiment lesson, make sure you have all of the ingredients needed so that all students can complete the experiment. You don't want to give a science lesson on creating a volcano and find out once students are gathered and ready that you've forgotten a key ingredient like baking soda.

To ease your job in creating a lesson plan, use a template. The basic lesson plan format has been around for decades, so there's no need to start from scratch. Once you figure out what kind of lesson plan you will be writing, then you can figure out the best way to use the format to fit your needs.

In this series about lesson plans, we're breaking down the 8 steps you need to take to create an effective lesson plan for the elementary classroom. The final step in a successful lesson plan for teachers is Learning Goals, which coming after defining the following steps:

An 8-step lesson plan is not complete without the final step of Assessment. This is where you assess the final outcome of the lesson and to what extent the learning objectives were achieved. This is also your chance to adjust the overall lesson plan to overcome any unexpected challenges that may have arisen, preparing you for the next time you teach this lesson. It's also important to make note of the most successful aspects of your lesson plan, to ensure that you continue to capitalize on strengths and continue to push forward in those areas.

How to Assess Learning Goals

Learning goals can be assessed in a variety of ways, including through quizzes, tests, independently performed worksheets, cooperative learning activities, hands-on experiments, oral discussion, question-and-answer sessions, writing assignments, presentations, or other concrete means. However, it's important to remember that you may have students who better display their mastery of a topic or skill through non-traditional assessment methods, so try to think about creative ways you can assist those students in demonstrating mastery.

Most importantly, teachers need to ensure that the Assessment activity is directly and explicitly tied to the stated learning objectives you developed in step one of the lesson plan. In the learning objective section, you specified what students would accomplish and how well they would have to be able to perform a task in order to consider the lesson satisfactorily accomplished. The goals also had to fit within your district or state educational standards for the grade level.

Follow-Up: Using the Results of the Assessment

Once the students have completed the given assessment activity, you must take some time to reflect on the results. If the learning objectives were not adequately achieved, you will need to revisit the lesson in a different manner, revising the approach to learning. Either you will need to teach the lesson again or you'll need to clear up areas that confused several of the students.

Whether or not most students showed understanding of the material, based on the assessment, you should note how well students learned different parts of the lesson. This will allow you to modify the lesson plan in the future, clarifying or spending more time on areas where the assessments showed the students were weakest.

Student performance on one lesson tends to inform performance on future lessons, giving you insight into where you should take your students next. If the assessment showed the students fully grasped the topic, you may want to proceed immediately to more advanced lessons. If understanding was moderate, you may want to take it slower and reinforce the takeaways. This may require teaching the entire lesson again, or, just portions of the lesson. Assessing different aspects of the lesson in greater detail can guide this decision.

Examples of Types of Assessments

Quiz: a short series of questions with right and wrong answers that may not count towards a grade.

Test: a longer or more in-depth series of questions that probes for more understanding of the topic and may count towards a grade.

Class discussion: rather than a quiz or test that is scored, a discussion helps identify understanding. It's important to make sure all students are able to demonstrate mastery here, so that no one is lost in the shuffle.

Hands-on experiment: Where the subject matter is appropriate, the students apply the lesson to an experiment and record the outcomes.

Worksheet: Students fill out a worksheet, especially for math or vocabulary lessons, but it also could be developed for many topics.

Cooperative Learning activities: Students work in a group to solve a problem or have a structured discussion.

Illustrations or Graphic Organizers: These can include Venn diagrams, K-W-L (Know, Want to Know, Learned) charts, flow charts, pie charts, concept maps, character traits, cause/effect diagrams, spider web, cloud chart,T-chart, Y-chart, semantic feature analysis,fact/opinion chart, star chart, cycle chart, and other appropriate graphic organizers. Often the subject will determine which works best as an assessment tool.

FACILITATOR NOTES

Introduction: Inquiry based lesson plan for 8-40 students and adult participants

Goal: When this session is complete, participants should be able to...

Help people get to know each other better

Establish respect by building awareness of the talents and capacities in the group

Time: 40 minutes

Materials: Flip chart paper and markers, blank paper and crayons
Space:
Considerations: Building respect means learning to see people as individuals and as resources. Far too often we tend to assume that because of their age, students have less to contribute in terms of skills and abilities than adults. When students and adults are going to be working together on projects it is particularly important to take time to find out individuals' gifts and capacities. Since many people are uncomfortable talking about what they're good at - it might feel like bragging- you'll need to ask the question in several ways. It's also important to encourage people to think creatively and include things that might seem insignificant to them.

PROCEDURES

Split people into groups of about five, Hand out paper and crayons to each group.

Present the outline of a shield on a piece of flip chart paper. Spilt the outline into 5 boxes.

Things you enjoy doing

Things you can build or make

Things you know about

A successful experience you had

Other strengths and things you are good at

Instruct participants to draw a similar shield with 5 boxes on their pieces of paper. Then tell them that in each box they are to draw symbols that answer the questioning the box. Tell them to be creative, think broadly, include little things. Give them about fifteen or twenty minutes.

When they are almost finished, tell participants to turn their paper over and write three weaknesses or things they wish they were better at or things they would like to change about themselves.

After participants have had enough time to draw, ask them to share their pictures in small groups. Each person should explain everything on the front of the picture and read at least one thing she or he wrote on the back. Ask the other people in the group to listen for clues about other strengths the speaker might have. After each person is done explaining his or her shield, the rest of the group takes two minutes to ask questions or suggest other possible strengths.

When everyone in the group has reported out, ask each group to create a master list of strengths and skills.

Post the lists. Have people look around and read what is posted. Close wit a couple of questions:

How did it feel to talk about your strengths?

What was it like to listen to others' strengths?

Did anything surprise you?

What do the lists tell you about this group?

Are there any things missing that we are going to need?
