Components of a Lesson Plan

Your daily lesson plan should consists of three components:


1. Review Old Material

• Discuss the important points from the previous day's lesson.
• Correct work together, and rework any material not understood before introducing new material.

2. Introduce New Material

• When you are sure the student understands the directions well enough to work independently, assign material for the day.
• Read the directions carefully to the student, or have the student read them aloud. Thoroughly explain all directions and processes before beginning.

3. Verify Understanding of New Material

• Check completed school work. If the student still does not understand, explain the material once again.
• Point out errors. Repeat the explanation, or explain in different terms, to be sure the student understands.

Happy Homeschooling!
