2) A good lesson has a sense of coherence and flow. This means that the lesson hangs
together and is not just a sequence of separate activities. So, at the time I plan a lesson
a think of the topic arranged in previous lessons to follow the same path with different
activities and some questions at the end that connect the next lesson over the days and
the weeks of the course.
A good lesson exhibits variety. This variety needs to be presented at both the macro and micro
levels. To avoid boredom and fatigue I try that my lessons should not follow the same pattern
every day. I use some techniques to get my students motivated and centered on what the
lesson is about.
A good lesson is flexible. Lesson plans are not meant to be tools that bind teachers to some
pre-written plan, because I sometimes change activities or the direction of the lesson due to a
student´s question or some idea that comes to mind that is not previously written. On the other
hand, a lesson plan should have different plan tasks and exercises to possible obstacles or
unplanned situations.
