Sequence of lesson plan

1. Expansion

   • In expansion, students learn to relate and transfer strategy use to other tasks, subject areas and aspects of their lives. You may initiate a brainstorming session by sharing with your class different ways you have used a particular learning strategy.

2. Preparation

   • In the preparation phase of a lesson that includes learning strategies, you want to activate their background knowledge of the strategies they already use to help them complete a specific task.

3. Presentation

   • Name the strategy, explain how to use it, tell when to use it, model it and explain its importance.

4. Practice

   • In this part of the lesson, the focus shifts from the instructor as presenter to the students as completers of a designated task. Students work in pairs or small groups on a topicbased task with a specific outcome.

5. Evaluation

   • The evaluation phase of the lesson focuses on student self-evaluation of the effectiveness of the strategies they use in accomplishing specific tasks. Students need to find out which learning strategies work best for them on certain tasks and why.
