Abstract

Planning activities are one of the most important aspects of lesson planning, as they determine how students will interact with the content, teacher, and each other. Activities are the means by which students achieve learning objectives and develop the skills and competencies that they expect. Therefore, it is essential to design activities that are effective and engaging, suit the needs and interests of the students, and align with the chosen teaching method.
