“A lesson plan is a set of notes that helps us think through what we are going to teach and how we are going to teach. It also guides us during and after the lesson. We can identify the most important components of a lesson plan by thinking carefully about what we want our learners to do and how we want them to do it. So, it helps the teacher before the lesson (writing down the aims and procedures for each stage of the lesson), during the lesson (timing each stage) and after the lesson (using the plan and notes to help plan the next lesson)”.

(THORNBURY, 2005, p. 91-92)

Considering Thornbury’s (a very famous applied linguistics in the early 2000s) quotation, put the numbers 1 – 5 in the correct place in the following lesson plan:

1. To enable students to use past tenses accurately and put events in order in simple narratives.

2. Students listen to the model story, then, in groups, plan and write their own stories.

3. Use gestures to remind students to use past tenses.

4. To follow on from work on past tenses and to prepare for the storytelling project.

5. To make sure that board writing is clear and readable.

Choose the CORRECT sequence.
