Writing a lesson plan
Choose a suitable rhyme/song from the resource list in Section 3.13.1 and develop a lesson plan for a 35-minute English class for pupils either in Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2. You can always refer to Section 3.10 while developing your lesson plan.
Make sure you consider the situations in your own school and plan a lesson which can really be implemented in your own class.
