Sample LessonsHere are some sample lesson plans from the CEP I6 Class. The lessons cover a variety of topics, but my co-teacher and I tried to bring in authentic material from outside the textbook in order to give students a natural input and help them make the connection that what they were studying in class really happens in the outside world.

In this class we had a debate about Citi Bike (a part of NYC students encounter often) using the target writing theme for this chapter: persuasive argument.

Unit 12: Wishful Thinking
This class we included Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech to compliment the "I wish" grammar structure and discuss American history.

Teacher Feedback Form
It is also important for teachers to have an engaging form of corrective feedback for students beyond simply oral corrections. This sheet allows the teacher to collect areas the students need to be improved, or praised for, anonymously reducing stress on the students and serving as a good wrap-up for an activity. I used this especially during the Frasier clip third conditional practice and the debate, but it is suitable for any activity.
