While doing my lesson plan, I realized it consists of many steps and specific processes. I learned that it's important to know how to create anticipation and how to create a hook for their interest. A hook is always a great idea to have to get the attention and interest of the students. The lesson plan and the Burgess’s book helped me discover how to get the attention from your students and get them involved in the activities independently or in group work.
