How to Create a Lesson Plan Using Presentation

It is a teacher-oriented approach in that most of the focus is on the instructor. It primarily makes use of lecture, though other types of styles can be used simultaneously. It can be used in conjunction with any type of media: primary sources or secondary sources whether audio, visual or textual. Teachers employ many different formats, but there are some commonalities.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Establish set. Getting the classroom to settle down any pay attention is of prime importance to any teacher-centric lesson plan.

2. Provide motivation. Convince students that the information that they are about to learn is important. Employ any audio, visual or textual aides that may be necessary to accomplish this goal. Make sure the items are related to the lesson plan.

3. Offer an advanced organizer. This is any kind of material that helps guide students through the class. An example is a set of headlines for note taking.

4. Lecture. Prepare the bulk of the information for this moment. It should be at least thirty minutes out of an hour, adjust those numbers up or down as needed.

5. Assess student learning. Determine how much of the topic the students have mastered. This will give you an indication as to which points are clear and which of them need to be covered again in the future.

6. Give extended practice. Most of the time, extended practice will take the form of homework. However, you can use a research paper, a project or virtually anything else as a substitute. Whatever method you choose, be sure that it helps to reinforce the key messages of the lesson plan.
