This website has suggestions for teaching a range of different lessons which you can download for free. They are all real lessons which have been taught by real teachers, and include the resources you need and examples of the children's work as well. There's guidance on teaching methods too.

Our lessons have interesting contexts for literacy and citizenship. Good for speaking and listening too. See also Feedback from users
