Madeline Hunter's (Seven Steps)

• Anticipatory Set (setting the stage)--attention-getter and focuser
• Statement of Objectives--tell students what they'll be able to do as a result of the lesson
• Instructional Input--lecture, but not necessarily lecture: demo, explanation, instructions
• Modeling--demonstrate, show what you tell
• Check for Understanding--watch faces, ask questions
• Guided Practice--help students start practicing new skills, applying new knowledge
• Independent Practice--turn them loose to work on their own, homework assignment, etc.
• Example

Bloom's Taxonomy and Critical Thinking

• Knowledge - recall
• Comprehension - understand
• Application - use, practice
• Analysis - dissect, generalize
• Synthesis - create, combine
• Evaluation - appraise, value
• Example

Multiple Intelligences (Howard Gardner's 7 Ways of Knowing)

• Verbal
• Mathematical
• Spatial
• Musical
• Kinesthetic
• Interpersonal
• Intrapersonal
• Example

Instructional Scaffolding (Jerome Bruner; Langer & Applebee)

• Ownership--wish to learn
• Appropriateness--right level
• Support--structured guidance
• Collaboration--coaching
• Internalization--independent practice
• Example
