It is clearly not enough to have just a Student's Book, Theacher's Book and Workbook. Every book has a style of learning , and children can get bored and not respond to that style, so the teacher must focus on preparing an attractive lesson. Even I, as an adult, want and expect from my teachers an attractive lesson that motivates me. A good coursebook should give me interesting theme, because choosing the theme is the first step, and the themes must follow at a certain point the personality of the children. What if sometimes I can come up with themes that are not included in the coursebook, but I am sure that the children will love it and the learning process will be much easier for them? After choosing the theme from the coursebook, I would like to find there some ideas that can help me plan the lesson. Sometimes I just like to close the book and put all my ideas on paper, then open the Teacher's Book and see what other ideas are there, and those ideas give me more ideas and so on. It depends a lot on the Teacher's personality, creativity. But of course , I really need pictures , recordings, flashcards related to the theme.
