This plan is not very good !or several reasons. irstly, it is not structured in any kind o!

sensible order. The ways in which the teacher will deal with the grammar point is not clear

whatsoever and doesnt seem to have a logical order in terms o! presenting, practicing andplaying. The activities themselves are put into a random order with no real sense o! how one

will naturally lead into the other. The lack o! detail is another serious !law. ith vague

mentions o! activities the teacher may easily lose their way during the lesson without any way

to remind themselves how games and activities should be done properly. There is no mention

o! interactions and purpose with each aspect o! the lesson so the teacher is not making sure

that they cover all the essential elements o! the class. inally the timings are obscure and

uncertain. There!ore it is di!!icult !or the teacher to keep track o! each how long they should

be spending on each activity and where they should be at any given point during the lesson.
