Rationale (700-1000 words): to meet the criteria in your rationale, you need to cover the following:

 Why was the lesson structured this way?

Start off by writing about the benefits of using the PPP structure. Examples include building on knowledge as the lesson progresses, the
opportunity for freedom to experiment with the target language in the production activity, and space to ensure meaning, form, and
pronunciation are all covered during the presentation stage.

 How does each activity contribute towards the aims and how it will be achieved?
Look back at your lesson aim and write about how each stage of your lesson contributes to and helps achieve that aim. Start with the
warmer – how does this set the tone for the lesson? Then move on to what’s planned in your presentation stage and so on. Cover all
stages and all activities ensuring they all contribute – in some way – to achieving that overall lesson aim.

 What will happen if one or more of your activities do not go to plan?

In lesson planning, you always need a contingency plan. Pick one or two of your activities and decide what you would do if they didn’t go to
plan. For example, what if the students struggle to think of what to say during the production stage? One suggestion would be to have a
model dialogue prepared and another would be to brainstorm topic ideas on the board to give some additional support.

 What other activities did you consider using before settling on the ones you have? Why didn’t you use them?
Your tutor will want to see your thought processes when you were planning your lesson, so this is where you need to write about an idea or
two that you had but decided not to use. For example, perhaps you wanted to end with a discussion but felt that would be too difficult for
this level, so you chose to end with a game instead.
