_____________________________________________________________________Warm-Up-Activity: Typically, is no longer than 15 minutes long. The purpose is to prepare the learner for learning. A good warm-up relates to the topic yet does not have too.  Although it is best if it does since it will provide a smooth transition into the topic of the lesson.

Goal (s): This is what you want the learner to be able to learn as a result of your lesson.

Objective (s): This is how you will achieve your goals.  You may choose to use the following the A,B,C,D format to assist in writing objectives for direct instruction.  A = Age, B = Behavior, C = Condition, D = Degree

Introduction: This involves the introduction to the lesson for the learner.  It moves into the lecture part of the lesson where the teacher introduces the topic and explains the lesson and then leads into the guided-practice.

Guided Practice: You will want to include a practice before you have students move into a guided practice. Refer back to your objectives here.  

Independent Practice: Students will then work independently to complete your lesson. The independent practice will reinforce your objective (s). It is here you will want to include the expected behavior for the students to carry out as they engage in the independent practice.  Please CHAMP this out (See the blog site for an explanation of CHAMPS. C = conversation, H = help, A = activity, M = movement, P = performance, S = signal.  Write what you will say prior to students engaging in the Independent Practice.

Closure: Here is where you check to see if your objectives have been reached/obtained. Do not confuse this with your assessment. This maybe questions you’ve produced to see if students have reached your goals.

Assessment: This relays back to your objective, which follows the A,B,C,D, Format.  It is the D or to what degree your students met your goal by demonstrating an understanding of your objective.
