The document discusses instructional planning and effective lesson design. It emphasizes that instructional planning should use appropriate curricula, strategies, and resources to address students' diverse needs. Teachers are advised to consider learning objectives, activities to engage different learning styles, and assessments when planning lessons. A variety of activity types are also presented, such as sponge activities, warm-ups, and icebreakers to introduce lessons in an engaging way.

1. Instructional Planning
All Students have the right to learn
regardless the difference
in their abilities

2. The Process
 Instructional planning is a process of the teacher
using appropriate curricula, instructional strategies,
and resources during the planning process to address
the diverse needs of students.

Instruction.aspx

3. Prior Planning
Questions to ask yourself :
 What do students want to know when they come
to your class?
 What do they need to know?
 What do students always get stuck on?
 What is one thing that students need to
understand before they go on to the next level
(i.e., the next course in the discipline)?

4. Learning Outcomes
 Learning outcomes are statements that specify what
learners will know or be able to do as a result of a
learning activity. Learning outcomes have three
distinguishing characteristics:
1. The specified action by the learners must
be observable.
2. The specified action by the learners must
be measurable.
3. The specified action must be done by
learners.

7. Sponge Activity
 Madeline Hunter originated the term sponge
activities to describe "learning activities that soak
up precious time that would otherwise be lost.

8. Warm up Activity
 A warm up activity is a short, fun activity which a teacher
can use with students. The purpose of a warm up is to:
1. engage the students and direct their
thinking towards the lesson.
2. prepare them to learn by stimulating their
minds and/or their bodies
3. Uncover their misconceptions about the
lesson

9. Ice Breaker Activity
 Icebreaker activities are extremely useful in breaking
down barriers between students in order to facilitate
class participation. They are particularly important if
you plan to have your students work in groups:
1. encourage greater connections between
students
2. enhance group processes and thus the
quality of group work produced

11. Learning Activities
 Research suggests that considering the following
interrelated elements when designing and
implementing learning activities can increase
student engagement behaviorally, emotionally,
and cognitively, thereby positively affecting
academic achievement.
