Summary of Hunter’s Philosophy “Not each of the "seven steps" need be in every lesson nor should every lesson be based on the seven steps; however, the seven steps make a good check list of elements in planning a lesson.

The instructional purpose and the best way to involve the learner are the guides for what to choose in planning a lesson.” Taken from the website: eei.html eei.html eei.html
