The document describes Madeline Hunter's 7 step lesson plan model, which includes getting students ready to learn, reviewing previous material, setting objectives, providing instruction through modeling and examples, checking for understanding, guided practice, and independent practice. It notes that Hunter did not originally intend it as a rigid framework, but rather as a set of elements to consider when planning lessons. While widely used, some criticize its misapplication as promoting "direct instruction".
