Introducing the lesson provides students with an advance organizer of what is to come and why it is important for them to learn the knowledge and skills in the lesson.
Introducing the lesson consists of three parts.
Gain student attention—information or experience designed to activate student interest and motivate them to engage in learning
Explain the objective—information that communicates the expectations for the outcome of the lesson to the students
Relate to prior knowledge—information that identifies prerequisite knowledge and skills students will use to learn the lesson content and draws a clear connection between prior knowledge and the new lesson
Accommodations are changes to the way a student accesses instruction and demonstrates performance. When accommodations are incorporated into the lesson introduction, the entire class benefits. Some accommodations may need to be provided on an individual basis.
