Procedure (18-35 minutes)
1) After T welcomes Ss, she will start the lesson by telling a very short story that happened to her (ordering the events in the past and exaggerate the PP tense). then make a discussion with Ss { lead in, 3 minutes} 2) T elicits from Ss the order of events and which of them happened first. T handouts a written passage and ask Ss to underline past tenses. T gives feedback and elicits from Ss that there are past simple and past perfect verbs {exposure&highlighting from 5:6 minutes}
Meaning phase, 1- In the last exercise, T elicits from Ss that actions in the PP happened first. 2- T uses a timeline (which is attached to the LA) to teach the meaning. 3- :T uses CCCQs to check Ss understanding. For example, Do these events take place in the present? Ss "No" So they happened in…? " "in the past" Very good, and which happened first? . Form phase, 1- T writes down some examples on the board _ as mentioned in the LA_ to elicit the form of the structure: We were late, the train had left. We were late, the train had already left We were early, the train had not left. Had the train left? Why had the train left? Phonology phase, T elicits from Ss the pronunciation of the previous examples. Then drill
T divides the class into 2 teams, then sets the third activity. each team will work together and guess some events in the PP to complete the sentences so that they have a completed story.
T ask Ss to talk about their journeys using the PP. T monitors and gives help if needed.
