… you suddenly realise, right in the middle of a lesson, that the text you gave to your students is way too difficult?
Let me explain the situation.
I’ve, well, inherited, a class from a colleague who claimed that said class was really good and advanced. Right in the first lesson I realised that my colleague obviously meant something different by advanced. Not good!
I managed to save the lesson by explaining a lot of words and on the fly “invent” activities that only barely relied on the text itself. It went quite well, but I’m not happy about this.
The question is: what do you do in such situations?
