Academic Standards

Before you write your lesson objectives, locate the Educational Standards appropriate to your state, content area, and grade level(s) that match the goals of your lesson, and select them to be included in your lesson plan.

Objective

Instructional Objectives should describe observable student performances related to enduring understandings. Objectives make clear the types of performances that you will expect from students, including performances that indicate student knowledge, understanding, skills and abilities, and attitudes. Carefully constructed lesson objectives are grade appropriate, align with national, state or local standards, and ultimately determine the teaching procedures and assessment strategies you will use to ensure students reach the objectives you set in place.

Limit your lesson to one or two objectives.

Rationale Statement

State your reasons for teaching this lesson and your primary goals for learning. Include information about the learning styles or developmental levels of students.

Introduction

Begin the lesson with a "hook" that creates interest, arouses the motivation of the students, and prepares them for coming activities. An introductory activity can also enable you to assess the prior knowledge of your students so you can more carefully plan for instructional modifications during the course of the lesson. Your imagination, creativity, and prior experiences as a student and teacher are called for here, but be sure to stay true to your lesson content, instructional objectives, and the standards.

Activities

Carefully designed lesson activities and procedures are at the heart of your lesson.
