Creating+a+Lesson+Plan

==I found this interesting form of planing a lesson, it is not an exact form of lesson planning, but it might help educators when organizing their sessions. It is called the 'FORM' strategy. ==

FORM Strategy The FORM strategy is an advanced organizer instructional routine teachers use at the beginning of class (REFERENCE). It aids in organizing content-area instruction. The goals are to provide students with the main idea of the lecture and to preview how information will be presented. The strategy helps students to follow lectures and pick out the most important information to be recorded in notes. FORM the big picture of the lesson...
 * Focus of Lesson
 * What will the lesson be about?
 * What are the key points that will be addressed?
 * What questions do students hope will be answered?
 * Organization of Lesson
 * How will the key points be presented?
 * What learning enhancers will be used to make it easier?
 * What is the sequence of activities you will be using during this lesson?
 * Relationship
 * Relationship to the past: What have students learned in the past that will make learning this easier?
 * Relationship to the future: If students master the material, then how will they benefit?
 * Most Important to Learn
 * If students don't learn anything else from the lesson but this one thing, what would it be?
