14 Behavioral objectives are driven by active verbs – add, calculate, draw, list, measure, write, show, solve, etc. Behavioral Objectives Avoid passive verbs – appreciate, believe, enjoy, know, learn, understand, etc.

15 2. Body or Development Portion. Lesson Plan – Basic Format Opening activity – for review, motivation or development. Sets the tone. Introduction – tell them what you are going to do. MOTIVATE. to be continued

16 2. Body or Development (Continued). Lesson Plan – Basic Format Drill – model problems will help insure learning. (Assessment ) Do it! Include definitions, statements, questions and planned board work. Include applications. Motivate. Medial review. (Assessment ) Repeat the above three steps as necessary. Vary student activity. Motivate. to be continued

17 2. Body or Development (Continued). Lesson Plan – Basic Format Closing activity – for review, summary or concluding remarks. (Assessment ) Assign drill (Homework) (Assessment ).

18 Closing activity suggestions: Lesson Plan – Basic Format Teacher summary. Summarize the important points of the lesson. Discuss what you taught and what they learned. Very important 3-5 minutes.

20 Lesson Plan – Basic Format 7.Statement of the NCTM Standards you have satisfied in the lesson. I want the bullets quoted directly from the document. In real life you will need to include the state and/or district standards. 6. Techniques used. See Johnson, Appendix A plus my previous lesson plans.

21 Put the body or development section on one side of the paper and the pre-stuff and post-stuff on the other side. Lesson Planning Hints Use white space and margins to keep the plan readable.
