Scared I Won't Be Good Enough

Please Help a Newbie Teacher with Lesson Planning Advice?

Hi everyone, I got a job at Hess. However I am new to teaching. May I please ask you do you know how to create a lesson plan from the book? How to divide up the lesson plan timing wise? Also, what English books do most elementary schools in Taipei use? Do you have any classroom speaking tips for a newbie to English teaching? Alsom do you gave any links to teacher guides or English books they use in Taiwan elementary schools? Thanks, Patrick
