Structuring a Lesson



It’s important that a lesson has a structure to it.  The student gains comfort from this, alleviating any anxiety about what’s coming up next and you know that you are covering what you need to in the lesson.  Sometimes when you break from the regular structure there is a sense of freshness to the lesson.

It makes sense to structure the lesson.  The beginning activities/warm-ups can lead into the focus of the main part of the lesson.  The body of the lesson is where you will teach a particular concept and then the ending can reinforce the main concept or consolidate prior knowledge.  The flow of the lesson feels organic and logical.
