Revised Required Reading - Lesson Plan (Grammar Discussion)

 This is for a writing prompt in the course: Teach English Now! Reading, Writing & Grammar by Arizona State University through Coursera.

In the last peer review assignment, you added some writing techniques and strategies to your existing lesson plan. Now, you're going to make changes to your lesson plan again, this time by choosing one part of your lesson plan where you could incorporate a brief grammar "moment" or discussion, related to either your reading or writing activities.  You may need to delete some pre-existing exercises in order to make room for your grammar activity.
