Review
●Communicative lesson planning is reflective (a messy circle).
●Communicative lessons have a beginning, middle, and end.
●In communicative lessons, students spend most of the time communicating.
●It’s ok to use other sources (like Voice of America) if your textbook doesn’t have explicit
grammar instruction.
●Try something new, reflect, and revise.
●Options! Options! Options!

Please write one thing you learned or found interesting in the webinar. Then, share it
