• 2.     Materials.  List of materials to be used including those the teacher needs and those the students need.
  
• 3.     ProceduresActivities. To be followed for the lesson - Include estimated length of time for each activity. Use a variety of activities. For any given 90 minute period, dividing the class into 3 or 4 different activities is adviseable, although there are exceptions.  Specify activities that are focused on factual knowledge (fk) critical thinking (ct), creativity & imagination (ci), and application (app).  Plan activities that encourage students to be engaged in learning, exploring, thinking, etc.
