Summary of Hunters Philosophy

• Not each of the "seven steps" need be in every
  lesson nor should every lesson be based on the
  seven steps however, the seven steps make a good
  check list of elements in planning a lesson.

• The instructional purpose and the best way to
  involve the learner are the guides for what to
  choose in planning a lesson.
