Can I adapt activities in the Teacher's Guide to suit my own timings?

Yes. The Teacher's Guide is a flexible planning tool, not a fixed script. Activities are there to support you, not constrain you. Pick the ones that work for your class and leave the ones that don't. You should always adapt to the needs of your cohort and the time you have available.

In practice this might mean:

• Selecting two or three activities from a lesson rather than working through all of them
• Splitting a longer activity across two sessions if your timetable is shorter
• Swapping the order of activities to suit how your class responds
• Using an activity as a starter in one lesson and returning to a related one later in the term

The Teacher's Guide is designed to give you a well-resourced starting point. What you do with it is up to you.
