I usually follow five major steps when I teach: Preliminary and Motivational Activities, Presentation, Application, Generalization, and Evaluation. 

​

My preliminary activities are the common classroom routine before introducing the new lesson of the day. It is by greeting the class, checking their attendance, settling them down and asking them questions about the previous lesson as a form of review. Then, we'll do a motivational activity. It will be very short but it must be attention-grabbing in order for them to focus. 

​

Afterward, I present the lesson. Usually, I do it by lecture or interactive games. When it's over and I notice that the lesson is crystal clear to my students, I give them warm-up or practice exercises to see if they could apply what they've learned. I use sorts of teaching strategies at this point. It can be a simple worksheet, game, quiz, written work or group presentation. Once they got it, I'll let the students generalize or summarize the lesson.

​

Finally, the evaluation part takes a lot of time as well apart from the discussion. Usually, it is more difficult than the practice exercise during the application part. If there are written or performance tasks, I provide a rubric to help me assess their outputs. I also explain the rubric to the class so they can be properly guided.
