to ask ourselves how the procedureshow the procedures we have planned will help to achieve will help to achieve our aimsour aims and to make sure there are strong connections between strong connections between different stagesdifferent stages.
We also need to consider varietyvariety, i.e. how we can use different activity types, language skills and interaction patterns. All learners need different activities.
During the lesson we should teach the learners, not the lesson plan!
We must be prepared, if necessary, to change our plan while we are teaching. We must be aware of what we are changing and why.
We can include variationsvariations—some different possibilities in a lesson plan, e.g. an extra activity to use if learners take less time than expected to complete a task, an easier activity for low achievers, etc.
