1.     Anticipatory Set (focus): This refers to a short activity that draws the students' attention before the
lesson begins. This can be a handout, an example problem, or a simple question.
 
2.     Purpose (objective): The purpose outlines the objective of that day's lesson. Here the teacher
emphasizes how students will benefit from the session and how they will go about learning from it.
 
3.     Input: Input refers to the vocabulary, skills and other concepts the teacher intends to incorporate in
the session. It basically summarizes what students need to know in order to successfully master the
lesson.
 
4.     Modeling (show): It's no secret that most students are only able to master a new lesson if the teacher
has taken the time to show how it's done. Simply walk through a problem without student participation,
allowing them to learn how it’s done.
 
5.     Guided Practice: Here, the teacher leads the students through the steps necessary to perform the skill
emphasized using what is called the tripodal approach or see/hear/do. Show the students how to
successfully work through problems as they attempt to do it themselves.
 
6.     Check Understanding: Be sure your students understand the lesson. Ask students if they understand
and answer their questions, then adjust the lesson pace accordingly.
 
7.     Independent Practice: Allow the students to practice completing lessons on their own and aid when
necessary. Be sure all students understand the lessons of the day, including any homework assignments.
 
8.     Closure: Wrap up the lesson. Ask the students to recap what you have taught them, telling or showing
you what they have learned.
