Hey, thanks for replying!
They are asking me to discuss the plan, specifically focussing on the interaction time and the Student Talking time Vs Teacher talking time.
I have submitted what I thought was correct and have been told otherwise!
Hope you can help!!

Sorry!!
This is what I sent:
Interaction: There is a variety of activities and throughout the lesson, most of the skills in English are utilized at some point; reading, writing, speaking and listening. This will mean that students can practice all of their English skills. There is not much kinesthetic learning though so these students may become disengaged.
