2. Strategies for Effective Lesson Planning

3. 1. Know your objective.
write your lesson plan goal at the top
Creating Basic Structure

5. 2. Outline the Learning Objectives
•What are the most important concepts, ideas, or skills I
want students to be able to grasp and apply?
•Why are they important?
•If I ran out of time, which ones could not be omitted?
•And conversely, which ones could I skip if pressed for
time?

6. 3. Create a materials list

7. 4. Plan your timeline
break your plan into sections that you can speed up or
slow down to accommodate changes as they happen.
We'll use a 1-hour class as an example.
•1:00-1:10: Warm up. Bring class into focus and recap yesterday's discussion on
great tragedies; relate it to Hamlet.
•1:10-1:25: Present information. Discuss Shakespearean history briefly, focusing
on his creative period 2 years before and after Hamlet.
•1:25-1:40: Guided practice. Class discussion regarding major themes in the
play.
•1:40-1:55: Freer practice. Class writes single paragraph describing current
event in Shakespearean terms. Individually encourage bright students to write 2
paragraphs, and coach slower students.
•1:55-2:00: Conclusion. Collect papers, assign homework, dismiss class.

13. 2, Present the lesson

stimulate interest and encourage thinking. You can
use a variety of approaches to engage students (e.g.,
personal anecdote, historical event, thought-
provoking dilemma, real-world example, short video
clip, practical application, probing question, etc.).

14. 3. Discussion
