For maximum benefit, unfinished personal examples may be completed after class. The core lesson still ends with an independent performance.

TEACHER Teacher Lesson Plan · Read before class
  1. Set the listener, purpose and final outcome.
  2. Use the model for noticing, not line-by-line reading.
  3. Let the learner select and personalise useful language.
  4. Run supported practice, then remove the support.
  5. Delay feedback until the message is complete.
  6. Score the final task, give one improvement point and require a focused retry.
1

Define reader and purpose

A manager needs a decision-ready report, not a chronological account of everything you did.

Learner does: explain the listener, purpose and successful outcome in your own words.
Teacher Help · Stage 1
Ask the learner to state the listener, purpose and successful outcome in plain English. Move on only when the task is clear.
2

Study a useful model

Finding: Support response time increased by 22% in May.
Evidence: Weekend demand rose while staffing remained unchanged.
Implication: High-value customers waited longest during peak periods.
Recommendation: Pilot a rotating weekend lead for four weeks and review repeat-contact rate.
Learner does: identify the job of each part of the model before borrowing any language.
Teacher Help · Stage 2
Use the model once for meaning. Ask what each part achieves; do not turn the model into a long read-aloud exercise.
3

Collect precise language

Finding
  • The analysis shows that…
  • The main finding is…
Evidence and implication
  • This is supported by…
  • This means that…
Recommendation
  • We recommend… because…
  • The result should be reviewed after…
Learner does: explain the meaning of each group and create one true workplace example from every row.
Teacher Help · Stage 3
Check meaning and appropriacy before correcting form. Keep only language the learner can explain and personalise.
4

Plan from keywords

Learner does: Report on a service problem.

Use keywords only. Change names, figures, reasons and actions so the message is yours.

Teacher Help · Stage 4
Limit the plan to reader, purpose and five to seven keywords. The learner should draft from the plan, not copy the model.
5

Draft and test with a reader

  1. Report on a cost trend.
  2. Remove background that does not affect the decision.

Retry rule: after feedback, repeat the weakest part with one changed condition.

Teacher Help · Stage 5
Read as the intended reader and identify any unclear purpose, action or deadline. The learner decides and makes the revision.
6

Final writing task · independent rewrite

Write a 180–220 word report with one quantified finding and one proportionate recommendation.

Success: complete the task independently and make the listener’s next action or understanding clear.

Teacher Help · Final assessment
Do not supply wording during the final task. Score the three Progress Focus areas, give one precise improvement point and run a shorter retry.
