I want to know how to make a lesson plan about Exercises.
What about planning a project?
My students enjoy this type of activity a lot. I practice it in form of a game: a student is chosen, he/she is given the name of a well-known personality and the rest of the students have to guess the personality by asking questions.
These kinds of lessons are always interesting.That's the text and grammar combined. There's a lot of useful information in this lesson. I liked it.
I`m really interested on making plands for project classes
I just wanted to add my thanks to you for creating such consistently great lesson plans.
Can we have more exercises in the lesson plans about Tenses.
