When I was a student, my professors emphasised the importance of making lesson plans, but then they referred to people who were about to start teaching. Well, I have been teaching for more than a decade (oh, gosh!) and I still write a short lesson plan for every lesson I have. I'll try to share my ideas here, but be careful before you follow me and turn into a creepily well-organised pedantic nightmare.

I've started teaching online and it's quite challenging (hence no new posts here). But since I'm comfortable with the new environment, I'd love to share my impressions so far - I've been teaching online for almost two months so far and I find the experience really fascinating (especially that I teach regular groups, not the one-to-one conversations).

Yesterday, when I was on my way to work, I was thinking about the lesson - a group of pre-int teenagers and grammar + vocabulary revision. Not necessarily exciting thing, admit it. Maybe I'll give them a funny warm up at least, I thought - and I decided to make them write a poem, which we had never done before.
