O: Represents opening, which is how we begin the day, usually something to get the student focused and ready to learn.

WS: Represents the work session, which is the main topic/activity for the day (this will usually be facilitated by the teach, but driven by students).

CL; Represents the closing, which is the end of the class when we try to make sure that students leave with proper understanding of the lesson.
