Description
Starters and plenaries are now established elements of all good lesson planning. A good starter gets a class engaged right from the word go, challenges and motivates students, and sets a positive tone fro the rest of the lesson. A good plenary allows students to focus on the key objectives of the lesson, and to reflect on the progress they have made.

"A fun and easy to use book which I can easily recommend to my students on taught and 'independent' courses, postgraduate and undergraduate...
