(Attachment 23).

Presentation Content

Introduction - A section which includes the purpose of the

lesson, the training session conduct and administration (i.e.,

breaks, smoking policy, outline of activities), and a statement of

4.2.2 Write Content and Specify Learning Activities. The second step of lesson

plan development is the writing of content and learning activities. Although

writing the content of the lesson plan and specifying the learning activities can

be classified as separate activities, they occur concurrently when developing a

lesson plan. Instructor and trainee activities should be planned so that they

occur at the proper stages in the learning process. To ensure this proper timing,

content can appear on one half of the page and activities on the other.

Guidance for instructor activities is provided in "Instructor Activities"

(Attachment 24) for the following items:

Gaining and maintaining attention and motivating the trainee;

Informing the trainee of the learning objectives;

Electing recall of prerequisite knowledge;

Presenting the training material;
