COT INDICATORS
IMPORTANCE OF A LESSON PLAN
1. To structure and organize the lesson.
2. To determine methods of its delivery.
3. Assess student’s learning.
4. Being clear in what you want to teach.
5. Being ready to cope with whatever happens.
6.Give your teaching a framework.
7. Evaluate its application/effectiveness of a lesson.
8.A reminder for a teacher when they get distracted.
9.It suggests a level of professionalism and real
commitment.
What is the 7E Lesson Plan
The goal of the 7E learning model is to
emphasize the increasing importance of
eliciting prior understandings and the
extending, or transfer, of concepts. With
this new model, teachers should no
longer overlook these essential
requirements for student learning.
The importance of eliciting prior understandings in
ascertaining what students know prior to a lesson
is imperative. Recognizing that students construct
knowledge from existing knowledge, teachers
need to find out what existing knowledge their
students possess. Failure to do so may result in
students developing concepts very different from
the ones the teacher intends (Bransford, Brown,
and Cocking 2000).
Adopting a 7E model ensures that
eliciting prior understandings and
opportunities for transfer of learning are
not omitted. With a 7E model, teachers
will engage and elicit, and students will
elaborate and extend.
1. ELICIT
Here you can find out what the learners
know by eliciting responses from them. This
can be done in a variety of ways, such as
“Quick Quizzes, MCQs, Post-it notes, mini
whiteboards, KWL, traffic lights etc. This is
also a good opportunity to deal with learners
misunderstandings.
2. ENGAGE
The next stage is the “Engage” stage. This
can come before or after the elicit stage. In
this stage you want to engage interest and
curiosity, raise “The BIG questions” and
provide the “HOOK” for why the students
want to learn.
3. EXPLORE
During the “Explore” stage, learners should
be given opportunities to work together,
independent of you, their teacher to explore.
As the teacher, you should set up the task,
but then become the facilitator, helping
students by asking questions and observing.
4. EXPLAIN
During this stage I would use what students
had discovered to help them build the
concept/knowledge further. This would
involved checking and asking questions.
Using their knowledge gained from
experience to develop the concepts further.
5. ELABORATE
The next stage is the stage that will be KEY in
assessing their progress, knowledge and
understanding. This stage is “Elaborate”
Students may work independently during this
stage to demonstrate learning. This is where
students formalize and apply their learning.
At this stage the scaffolds are removed.
Students would be involved in independent
practice.
The addition of the extend phase to the
elaborate phase is intended to explicitly
remind teachers of the importance for
students to practice the transfer of learning.
Teachers need to make sure that knowledge is
applied in a new context and is not limited to
simple elaboration.
6. EXTEND
In some cases you may require an additional
“Extend” stage to challenge all learners. In
this stage you are encouraging the students
to apply or extend the concepts and skills in
new situations. Students make connections
not just in the subject/ideas studied but also
beyond it. They are able to apply
ideas/generalize and transfer principles.
7. EVALUATE
The evaluate section is the section where
you, the teacher, evaluate the learning that
has occurred. This might involve peer/self
assessment or marking. It might involve
questioning or quick low stage quizzing to
establish understanding of the concepts.
This should also include self-reflection and
evaluation from the student.
Note:
Formative evaluation must take place
during all interactions with students.
The elicit phase is a formative evaluation.

The explore phase and explain phase must
always be accompanied by techniques and
strategies whereby the teacher checks for
student understanding.
