BOPPPS Lesson Planning Examples

The BOPPPS Lesson Planning model appealed to the PAL working group.  It is a useful lesson planning approach, and PAL working group members took what they found useful from the model to create lesson plans that worked for their purposes. 

Note: The use of BOPPPS lesson planning IS NOT, in any way, MEANT TO BE PRESCRIPTIVE. 

 Here's how the PAL working group members used  the BOPPPS model in a way that was meaningful for them...

John's 'Understanding How Interest Works' Lesson Plan


This is an introduction to the concept of interest rates.


While creating detailed lesson plans on your computer may be nice, the reality at the front-lines of teaching is  that a quick, hand-written lesson plan can be just as effective, too! The main points are there and it's a terrific and realistic springboard for the lesson on calculating interest with a calculator or Smartphone.

Georgina's 'Collaborating Using Google Docs' Lesson Plan


This lesson plan was created in response to what learners asked for during Georgina's action research.


This detailed application of the BOPPPS lesson planning approach also considers activities through the lens of  lesson flow is quite instructive. The reflection at the end of the lesson is thoughtful and considers metacognitive awareness of learners.
