Question 6
This is a useful theme, but I can't see "the words in brackets" for question 6.
Question 6
Hi LisaJ
Thanks for pointing this out! The words the students need are not in brackets - the idea is just for students to rewrite the sentences using the words given in the second line, so that they can practice the structures from question 5. We'll change the instructions on the lesson plan so that it is clearer.
Hope your students enjoy the lesson!

I'm sure this lesson will be a great success, especially with adults. Those of us busy at work and at home surely appreciate and seek mindfulness. I also liked the interactive activities a lot. This is a great way to exercise the vocabulary before discussing mindfulness with your students.
