Need a lesson plan for today? Need a lesson plan for yesterday? You’ve come to the right place. Below are all the lessons with lesson plans available on my site. The low budget plans are designed to be materials light, so all you need is the lesson plan, some students, and pencil and paper. I try to design lessons that are quick and out of the box, perfect for emergency teaching needs. Each lesson is designed for a variety of EFL/ESL learner and can be adapted to meet the level of your learners without to much extra work.

Creative Thinking lessons include worksheets you can print off and a short plan with instructions and ideas.

There are also some Task Based Learning lesson plans in there to get you started with TBL if you are interested. Whatever you need, maybe you will find it below.
