After eliciting, t. writes "LAST WEEKEND" on the WB and asks students "What did you do last weekend?" and writes each answer on the WB.
After writing the answers on the WB t. asks one student directly "Did you meet with friends last weekend?". Student will answer the question by saying yes or no. After asking other students, t. elicits the questions and short answers in Past Simple.
T. models the sentence again using fingers to show the order of he words. After students are exposed to TL. T. writes the question form and the short answers on the WB and highlight the form on examples. Q: "Did you work last weekend?" A: "Yes, I did. /No, I didn't. Q: "Did she meet with friends last weekend?" A: "Yes, she did. / No, she didn't."

After they finish, t. gets students to answer the questions with Yes/No answers in the HO with their pairs.
T. sticks papers with sentences (Did you like the film?) on the wall and divides sts into pairs and says that one person will be secretary, the other one will be the runner.
