right lesson type and post in the
Padlet.
 Stage aims

 A final point
Aims are not set in stone.
Good teachers will change the plan as they go along to respond to
learners' needs so the aim of the lesson may change as the lesson
progresses.
This is not a bad thing because having fixed aims and sticking to
them too mechanically will mean that you can't respond to what
the learners really need.
Teach the learners, not the plan.
