How the plans work

The same shape every time

Warm up and teach. A quick review, then new language with teacher talk written out and concept-check questions so you know they have understood.

Practise and use it. Pair work that scales to big classes, then an original reading text, dialogue or listening script with questions.

Show what they can do. A one-page worksheet, an exit ticket to check learning in two minutes, and a short homework task.

Each plan names the curriculum week it comes from, so you can use it on its own or as one of that week's three lessons. Materials are things you already have, plus free resources we have checked.
