How to use it in a lesson
- Lessons run 50 to 64 minutes, with a timing on every stage, so you can see before you start what fits your slot.
- Start with "A Memorable Celebration": its whole plan is on this site, stage by stage, with the target vocabulary, free to read and to teach from on any video call.
- For a shorter slot, skip a practice stage or cut the discussion short: the stages are a guide, not a script.
