General Information • Date • Class • Student Level • Unit Title • Lesson Title • Duration of Class
Objective • Determine what you want the students to be able to know
and do by the end of the lesson. • Make it measurable and specific. • Don’t keep it a secret!
Example: Students will be able to use the present perfect tense by playing two truths and a lie (writing and saying 3 sentences in the present perfect tense).
Materials â&#x20AC;˘ Make sure you anticipate what materials you and your
students will need. Make sure to organize and prepare all of those materials before class.
Procedure • Write the steps that you and your students will follow,
keeping your objective in mind all along the way.
• Scaffold activities so that students can be more and more
independent as they proceed. • Gradual release of responsibility.
Assessment How will you know that your students have achieved the objective? • Exit slip • Project • Quiz • Journal entry • Verbal response • Presentation • Review the objective • Class reflection • Drawing • Completed worksheet

• Contains an objective. • Begins by piquing student interest, then involving them in an activity that may lead them to an understanding of the concept (deductive reasoning). • Explanations are first given by the students after the activity, then clarified by the teacher. • Students will develop their skills in further activities, gaining a firmer grasp on the concept or skill. • Students show how they mastered the objective.

Work in Groups! • Each group will use one of the frameworks to create a
lesson plan. • First, become experts on the format. • Then, write a lesson plan together that at least one
member of your group can use, based on their context and institution. • Record the lesson on chart paper and present to
everybody!
