ESL / EFL Lesson Planning:
When teaching EnglishSnippets.com lessons, try some or all of the following tips to help create the best learning experience for your students!
| Tip | Description | Sample |
| Don't Watch! | Don't watch the video until you have completed all activities for the lesson. If you watch the video first, you will loose the interest of a lot of students. Use the audio files for any listening activities. | NA |
| Predict the End | Teach everything except for the last scene of the video. Then, before watching, have students predict what they think will happen in the final scene. (This works well with most videos, but not all of them so make sure you watch the full video before using this activity.) | NA |
