What do you consider when you’re planning a lesson? Would you ever not plan your warmer or your lead-in? Would you ever go into a lesson without planning your input stage? In this talk we urge teachers to plan in the forgotten stages, the ones that give students the time and space to assess and discuss how much they’ve learnt, and we offer a suggestion on how to balance a lesson so that there is an appropriate amount of time given to these stages.
