Controlling time
Jim Scrivener
An important lesson management skill is to make your material perfectly fit the lesson time.


General hints on timing
Don't start on a new activity with less than 5 or 6 minutes left in the lesson, unless it really is a super-fast stage. Better to use an extending technique.

Extension strategies
4、If you have studied a reading text to death, but still have a few minutes left, ask students to put away the text and then tell them you will read it aloud - but with ten differences. They should listen carefully and spot what has changed. With weaker classes, just change key facts. Stronger classes can notice exact words and expressions changed.




Shortening over-long stages
1、Be pre-empitve
2、Extend old tasks rather than start new ones
3、Speed up early stages rather than cut off the end
4、Offer choices
5、Bend the laws of time
6、Pause mid-task
