Procedure (41-58 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Firstly I introduce myself , "Hello , I'm Ece.Welcome to our English class.".Now , do you remember Kelly from the previous lesson ? What happened to her ? Who can tell me ?

Exposure (5-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

I will stick the text on the board and give them four questions , ask them to go and find the answers. I will try to review past simple as it will be used with the past continuous. How was she feeling ? What did Kelly do in the class ? What were the children doing ? What was the headmaster doing ? How was the weather ? WC feedback

Clarification (10-15 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

.I will quote some of the sentence from the text , write it on the board and try to make students elicit about the meaning and form of the tenses. for ex : 1-The children were laughing.Then I will ask CCQs Are they laughing now ? No. When were the children laughing ? In the past , now or in future ? In the past I wil draw a timeline and show them on it. 2-The headmaster was standing at the door. CCQs : Was he sitting? No. What was he doing ? He was standing. Is he standing now ? No. When was he standing ? In the past. I ask them to show this sentence on the timeline. 3.When I woke up in the morning , I wasn't feeling very well. CCQ When did she wake up ? In the morning. Is she sleeping now ? No. Was she feeling well ? No. Again we will show it on the timeline. While doing this activity, we will learn to formulate the sentences.I will ask them , Look at the board.How can we make a sentences in the past continuous ? I will show them "subject " on the board but ı will ask , Is it verb ? No , What is it ? ıt's subject.Ok will write down "S" Then I wil try to elicit from the students " Subject + was / were + verb+ing " , yes / no questions and Wh questions. When the headmaster opened the door , she was sleeping , I will also Project this sentence and draw timeline , show past simple & continuous together.

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice
