One-pagers

Most of the lesson plans on this website are designed with the idea that learning is a progressive experience.  The teacher would follow up and build on the theme of focus with his or her students over the span of the course, or at least over a part of it.  There are some situations where while continuity & development over the course is still held important, shorter, more discrete lesson plans are called for.

Some schools are set up to teach modules, mini-courses focused on students gaining some knowledge or mastery over a short period of time.  Another such situation is a substitution and a different teacher is called in at the last minute to temporarily cover a class.  And there is someone frantically trying to put together something which could be done in that class.  These one-page (or two) lesson plans can be very useful.  The plan is already clearly & simply laid out and any references &/or materials are provided.

This list is just beginning and if you have any requests or comments, please feel free to let me know in the Contact section.

NOTE:  To save a bit of space a few shorthand abbreviations have been used which may appear in the lesson plan.

‘WOB‘ refers to Write On the Board  (or the equivalent)
‘St‘ refers to a student and ‘Ss‘ refer to more than one.
‘Tr‘ refers to the teacher or at times, a student taking the active directing role in pair-work
