Anticipatory Set
The anticipatory set is the introduction of the lesson. The purpose of the anticipatory set is to get students focused on the upcoming lesson. It can help activate prior knowledge, and it can get students excited. The anticipatory set should align with the previous lesson. It should give students an idea of what they will be learning, and it should provide purpose for that learning.
Closure
The closure is the conclusion. It involves reflection and evaluation. It helps pull everything together. IT reinforces the main ideas and purpose of the lesson. Both the students and teachers should ask: What did we do today? Did we meet our objectives? What will we do next?
