How to write a lesson plan to teach anything!

Learning outcomes drive your lesson.  Everything follows.  These are your observable and measurable learning goals.  These must be communicated to your students.  

You have a course you want to teach, and you've broken down the topics.  Now what do you do?  You want to hook your students.  You want to generate interest and excitement in your lesson.  This lesson teaches you about effective hooks, why they are very important to an effective lesson, and you will write a hook for a lesson plan you are developing.  

Instruction can be direct or indirect.  Direct instruction is teacher centered.  Indirect is student centered.  

This video takes a closer look at direct instruction, and what makes a good lecture. 

Practice should be guided practice, followed by independent practice.  Guided practice requires help from the teacher.  Independent practice allows the student to practice the learning on their own.  

This video goes more into the topic of guided practice.  

Assessments are tools to gauge student learning.  Assessments must reflect the learning goals of the lesson.  

Be sure you have a lesson wrap up.  Summarize the main points of your lesson.
