In this lesson, SS will be practicing the past continous tense and also understanding the difference between Past Simple and Continous.

The teacher will then start talking to the SS, but using the past continuos tense and asking them to explain what they were doing too using the tense, and get SS telling eachother and the class. Students will be engaged in some PW and GW activities, and will be given HOs aimed at the topic. There will also be some acting out tasks, a filling the gap task.

Procedure

Lead in (5-6 minutes) • To prepare what the SS are going to be practicing.

T will start the class off by having a song being played whilst everyone is walking in, it will be a lyric video song with the words which contain the present continous being highlighted. This might catch the SS attention, and they should get a slight understanding of the topic if they pay attention. Then T will casually speak sentences using the present continous form and ask SS to tell her what they did yesterday or were doing last night. Instruct SS to talk to their partners and tell eachother what they did last night. This is to see if they are using the Past simple tense correctly and to get them practicing on the tense as it will be useful for the past continous tense. They then should tell the class about what their partner did last night.

preparation and observation (4-5 minutes) • To prepare the SS for the tense and to obsverse whether the SS are familiar with the tense
