Questions before you start

Do I need a finished lesson plan before starting?
No. Bring a clear learning goal and the class context you have. Ask for questions where information is missing.
Can I use the same topic across tasks?
Yes. Keep your objective and topic in the prompt when moving from a lesson starter to practice or a visual brief. Check that each task serves a useful purpose.
Are the activities ready to hand straight to pupils?
No. Review accuracy, challenge, accessibility and classroom suitability before use.
Where can I explore the materials?
Each teaching-task page includes a Library resource to open and inspect. Use the page controls to explore the worksheet or visual, then choose a starting point for your class.
