Which item is one of the three basic components of a successful lesson plan?

• A. Introduction
• B. Warm-up
• C. Homework
• D. Administrative steps

Answer: (A)

A successful lesson plan has three essential parts: an introduction to open the lesson, the learning activities that teach the goals, and a closing with checks for understanding. The introduction is the opening that grabs students’ attention, states the learning objectives, and connects new content to what they already know, helping them see why the lesson matters. That’s why it is one of the three fundamental components. A warm-up can be a helpful activity within the opening, but it isn’t counted separately as one of the three main parts. Homework is something assigned after the lesson and isn’t part of the live instructional structure, and administrative steps concern logistics rather than teaching and learning.
