Level 3 Assignment A – Lesson Plan
In this part of the assignment, you must plan a face-to-face lesson teaching your young learners the past continuous for interrupted actions. Once you have planned your
face-to-face lesson, you must think about how you could adapt that same lesson plan for online teaching. Write two or three adjustments you would make in the boxes
provided for each stage. For example, if your warmer involves putting students in pairs, your adjustment for the online lesson would be to use breakout rooms. If your face-
to-face lesson involves handing out a worksheet, you might drop a link to the file in the chat box instead.
