Typical Structure of a Didactic Lesson
Obviously, lesson structure is shaped by your teaching preferences, the requirements of the objectives and time available, among others. Below is a typical example of the structure of a didactic lesson:

Step 1: The ‘Hook’.
The teacher evokes a stimulus of some type such as a story, an activity or a question designed to engage the students’ attention and interest.
Step 2: Lesson Objectives Shared
The teacher identifies the lesson objectives or outcomes and shows how these fit into the overall learning plan.
Step 3: Teacher Input
The teacher provides necessary information, skills, procedures, etc.
Step 4: Student Activities
Students are given an opportunity to engage with the content/skills, usually through a set of activities in order internalise the information or behaviours.
Step 5: Learning Check
Actual learning against the objectives is checked through a series of formative assessment opportunities. Teacher ascertains needs for both support interventions and/or extension work.
Step 6: Review
Students and teacher interact to summarise important points of the lesson.
