ELT365 · Day 220 — Starting the Lesson Well

Idea

The first three minutes set the pace and signal what kind of lesson this will be. A strong start narrows the gap between what learners expect and what you deliver.

Example

A brief warmer that activates relevant vocabulary signals: today’s lesson has a clear purpose. No long recap; move fast into content.

Try

Plan exactly how you will spend the first three minutes of your next lesson. Write it out stage by stage.
