LESSON PLAN AND TEACHER’S NOTES 2
Motivation/Building Background:
Teacher taps into students' life experience and background knowledge. If students lack experience in the concepts the lesson will cover, the teacher creates the experience. Students analyze their experiences. Possible activities in this stage of the lesson include, but are not limited to, group or pair discussions, information grids, video, or stories. .
Presentation: Teacher focuses learners' attention on the lesson by connecting students' experience (from the Motivation stage of the lesson), to the lesson objective. Teacher introduces new information, checks comprehension, and models what learners need to do with the language during the practice stage. Possible activities in this stage of the lesson include, but are not limited to, short lectures or explanations, presentations of language or language structures, or readings. .
Practice: Teacher provides practice of the new language, information, and material. Possible activities in this stage of the lesson include, but are not limited to, information grids, writing activities (draft stages), worksheets, songs, or cloze activities. .
Application and Evaluation:
Teacher facilitates an activity that allows students to apply
language and information in a novel situation. Teacher assesses
individual achievement of the lesson objective. The standards for
assessing student performance are the REEP
Level Descriptions.3
In addition, the teacher gives students the opportunity to self-assess
their performance and reflect on what they have learned. Possible
activities in this stage of the lesson include, but are not limited
to, role plays, student projects, oral presentations, and “published”
writing pieces. Reflection activities include group discussions,
student checklists, or journal writing.
Extension Activities for the Classroom
and Beyond: Activities that provide an opportunity
for students to extend their learning. (If applicable)
1 Depending on the lesson objective, a "lesson"
may last one class period or span several class periods. However,
each class period should begin with warm-up and review activities
to (re)focus attention on the lesson objective and to provide reinforcement
of previous instruction. This is a particularly essential step in
classes where attendance is irregular.
2 Although the four stages of the lesson (Motivation, Presentation,
Practice, and Application) build on each other, movement through
the lesson isn't always linear. It's normal to go back to previous
stages as skills are built.
