The lesson plan form may take some time to complete, so if your internet connection isn't stable we would suggest working on the contents offline. This
would mean using the headers in the blank lesson plan in the control panel as a guide and working on your lesson plan in something like a Word
document. Once you've finished, you should then copy and paste the contents into the online form. That way, if the submission is unsuccessful, you
have a copy to work from to submit again.

Write a straight-arrow ESA lesson plan for a pre-intermediate level class where the focus of the lesson is to practice a single usage of the
present continuous tense and for the students to be able to use it effectively. Provide as much detail as possible for each stage of the
lesson and activities used. The lesson should be one hour long.

Within your lesson plan procedure, also include full details of all worksheets or exercises that the students are expected to complete during the lesson,
with examples of questions asked and the types of answers you would expect them to produce.
