The starting-point for a great lesson with young learners: Plan it!

Having a lesson plan prepares you for class by organizing your thoughts and providing a clear road map for the day. You might have a general idea of what you want to do, but if you actually visualize your lesson and write out your plan, it will help you not forget key elements, make sure that you differentiate for the needs of the learners in your classroom, and that the lesson flows nicely together. Lesson planning means security and efficiency – ultimately, it’s the starting-point for a great lesson!
