6. An example of a Lesson Plan
Write the title of the poem / essay / comprehension / practical etc.
This will help them focus on the title / the topic to be discussed during that lesson. Through brainstorming you are enhancing communication skills.
The use of power points or any other visual resources (digital literacy), you are encouraging critical thinking when eliciting questioning from the students.
