Lesson Plan
Exploring Character Development
English Level: Intermediate
Age: 16 year olds
Warm-up: Quick review of character development and literary analysis terms.
Task: Divide students into small groups and assign each a character. Share a Miro board template (previously prepared by the teacher with character name, timeline, and sticky note area).
Students will work together to:
Identify key character traits
Map changes across story timeline
Add quotes or scenes that support their analysis
Wrap-up Discussion/Sharing: Groups share each other’s boards and leave comments or questions using Miro’s sticky notes. Then, the teacher could lead a class discussion where they could share insights, surprising observations, and differences in interpretation.

Designing a Historical Event Infographic
English Level: Intermediate

Each group will:
Research their topic
Select a Canva infographic template
Add text, icons, images, and data to visually summarize the event
Wrap-up/Presentation: Each group presents their infographic to the rest of the class, and after that, their peers will give them feedback using a “2 Stars and a Wish” format (two positives, one suggestion)
