7 Step Lesson Plan: 1) Anticipatory Set
7 Step Lesson Plan: 1) Anticipatory Set
1) Anticipatory Set: gets students ready for the lesson in a way that inspires interest and attention:
The lesson will begin with this 1-minute nonverbal animated video clip of a man forced into labor. I will then begin an open
discussion with the students about what they saw in the video. We will use Jamboard to notate everyone’s thoughts on the
video. I will use to Jamboard to ask a series of questions like “what does trafficking mean?, What does it mean to be free?,
How would you know this happening to someone?”

3) Teaching/input/explanation: Can take the form of teaching by the teacher, student presentations, use of media, etc.
The lesson will start off with the 1 minute YouTube clip of the silent animated video about a man being forced into labor.
This will be followed by a Jamboard discussion and an art lesson based on freedom. I will ask the students to create an 8x11
poster on what freedom means to them. I will supply them with construction paper, markers, glue, and scissors.
4) Model: Demonstration of what is required of the student so that they can first see what to do and then do it. (We usually think of
this as part of the initial teaching stage.)
The student’s will see a modeled version of what is expected in their final product. It will be a sample of what freedom means
to me which is Unity. I have a poster with the world on it. It has hands coming out of it with a rainbow and a heart. On the
poster I have written the words freedom and unity. I will ask the children to create something different that what I have done.
5) Check for understanding: Teacher assesses whether the students understand what has been taught, generally by asking questions, doing
practice questions or problems on the board, etc.
I will be walking around the room to see the different ideas and will give students a time limit on the project. At every 5 min
interval I will check off what step they have achieved before the time is up. The first 5 minutes will be to see if they have
gathered their materials and brought them to their desks. The second 5 minutes I will check to see if they have begun to write
what freedom means to them. I will give them 10-15 minutes to continue to create and give them a warning when they have
10 minutes left to finish.
6) Guided Practice: Students are given some form an example to practice with the close guidance and attention of the teacher to make sure they
basically understand what to do. If they don’t, this is the time to reteach those who are still struggling.
The guided practice will be conducted through out the lesson. If a student needs help I will assist them and show them the
sample I created.
7) Independent Practice: Once students are able to complete the basic task of the lesson without fear or confusion, it is time to move them to
independent practice with less teacher supervision and more independence.
For independent practice, the student’s will be able create multiple posters.
