Procedure (32-41 minutes)
I am going to show some pictures of mine about how I spent my last weekend. And I want my students to guess whether I enjoyed it or not.
In this stage I am going to ask my students about how they spent their weekend.
I am going to write some of the sentences that my students made on the board in the past simple positive and negative form to draw their attention to this tense.
I will clarify the use of past simple tense by drawing a timeline on the board and asking some CCQs from my students. (Is the sentence about the past, present or future? Past. Is it finished? Yes. Can I mention the exact time? Yes.) I will elicit the structure of the sentence by asking about the rolls of the words in the sentence. I will work on the regular and irregular verbs as well. I am going to work on the sentence stress at the end.
Students will have 5 minutes to answer the question on page 127 individually. They will have 2 minutes to check their answers in pairs and then we are going to check the answers with the whole class.
I will ask my students to talk about the best holiday that they have had in groups of 3. They will have 10 minutes to share their experience. I am going to monitor my students during this time and the feed back will be given at the end if needed.
