Designing and running lessons Groups of 3 Based on a real 45-50 minute lesson that you would teach in your context. The lesson should be as practical as possible. I encourage you to try new things. Try to adapt things that you have learned in the program to fit your context. Don’t do anything in this lesson that you wouldn’t do in your real classroom. One person should be responsible for 15-20 mins of the lesson.
