       These seven worksheets are most effective if you do them in this order. 
      Task for lesson planning 
        5 questions to get you reflecting about how you plan lessons. 
      Lesson plan checklist 
        A checklist of all you need to include on a DELTA lesson plan. 
        Acts as a good reminder for the rest of us too. 
      Lesson plan aims 
        A list of 25 possible aims that give you a good idea of how to phrase 
        yours. 
      Lesson Planning 2 
        The second session from our DELTA course - from observing teachers to 
        traffic lights. 
      Observation Task 1 
        A template to focus your teacher observations on their planning. 
      Features of a good lesson 
        Twenty features of a good lesson as listed by students and teachers. 
      A Metaphor for Language Teaching 
        Traffic Lights as a powerful metaphor for teaching - an especially useful 
        tool for planning. 
      Calling all teachers who have those dream lessons that always work and 
        who don't mind sharing them with us. 
        I can only include plans that you are happy for me to put up here. 
        So, please send me any plan by 
        email with an attachment.

       Lesson planning 
        and lesson plans 
        The introduction doesn't say much, but there are loads of links all on 
        the subject of lesson plans. Definitely worth a browse when you are short 
        on ideas. 
      Lesson Plans 
        A comprehensive site with suggestions and guidelines for writing lesson 
        plans from Danyal's TESOL DL site. 
         
        The NYTimes 
        Daily Lesson Plan 
        Apart from being a great source of interesting and topical lessons, I 
        like to use this source to see how different teachers from a variety of 
        disciplines subdivide their plans. 
         
        Instant Lessons 
        This is one of the few membership sites that I would actually advocate 
        joining. I've used numerous lessons and they've all worked. Particularly 
        good at integrating skills work and ideal for that sub lesson you've only 
        got 5 minutes to prepare for. Have a look at their sample lessons and 
        try them out. 
         
        English lessons and tests 
        An interesting site given to me by a couple of teachers who swear by it. 
        Personally, I found it took too much trawling to find lessons I wanted, 
        but check it out and let me know 
        if you disagree.
