Task analysis is the process of breaking a skill into smaller more manageable components. It is essential in ensuring students are able to understand and successfully complete apportioned tasks. It has beneficial in developing my teaching practice because it enables me to ensure my students are aware of all steps required to complete assigned tasks. The following is a task analysis for a task taken from Lesson #5 of the Sample Lesson Plans section.
