High-quality lessons can take a lot of time to plan! This is something that many teachers (and TESOL trainees) are very familiar with. And the lesson plans that you will design for your TESOL course are no exception—they will test your patience, resilience, and creativity. But one of the takeaways we want you to get from this lesson is some of our best advice on how to quickly and easily design good lessons for your students. So, before we get into all the details that come with lesson planning, we want to give you a simple framework called PPP that you can use to organize your lessons from beginning to end.

We recommend starting with PPP because it follows a natural and predictable order that most of us are familiar with (first, the teacher "teaches," and then the students "practice"). But after you have practiced designing this kind of lesson, we will also recommend other frameworks you can use that are different than PPP. Having a framework like these for organizing your lessons will make your lesson planning process much more efficient and it will help you get the most out of the time you spend getting ready for your next class.

In the next video, Andy walks us through the 3 P's and the 2 W's, and how they fit together to make a quick-and-easy lesson.
