Lesson Planning

1/ Social introduction

Hello, boys and girls. How are you?

We are having guests today, so I hope the guests will inspire you to work even better than you usually do.

2/ Setting the scene and generating interest in the topic

Lead-in

Did you have a good day yesterday?

What did you do?

And I had an unusual evening?

My graduate students visited me yesterday. They came at 5 o’clock in the evening.

We were having pizza at half past five.

We were watching video at 6.

We were talking about their plans for the future at half past 6.

We were singing karaoke at 7 o’clock.

Then they went home.

We had a very good evening.

Now let me see how carefully you were listening to me?

What were we doing at 7 o’clock yesterday?

We were singing karaoke at 7 o’clock.

3/ Presentation of the material or Pre-Task

Нахождение новых фактов объекта исследования.

Put that sentence down in your notebooks.

We were singing karaoke at 7 o’clock.

Answer the questions:

• Are we talking about past or present?

• Are we talking about a certain time? What time is it?

• Did we start singing karaoke before 7 o’clock? Yes, we did.

• Did we finish singing at 7 o’clock? No, we didn’t.

• Did we finish singing karaoke after 7 o’clock? Yes, we did.

• Was the action completed at 7 o’clock? No it wasn’t. (it was in progress)

When the action began before the certain point in time, was in progress at the certain point in time, was not completed by that time, and probably continued after it we use the Past Continuous (Progressive) Tense.

Put it down in your notebooks Past Continuous (Progressive) Tense.

4/ Development/ Explanation of the material or During Task

Выдвижение гипотез и рефлексивных суждений.

What do I want to learn about the Past Progressive Tense?

Now look at the following sentences and match them with the right timelines and explain when do we use the Past Continuous Tense.

Put that sentence down in your notebooks together with the timeline.

I was watching TV from 8 o’clock to midnight.

(the action began and finished at a certain time in the past.)

I was having a bath at 10 o’clock.

(the action began and was in progress at a certain time in the past.)

I was digging in the garden when I found a coin.

(the action in the past continuous is a time period within which the other action took place.)

I was doing my homework while my mother was cooking.

(two actions took place at the same time.)

5/ Closure/ Conclusion of material or Post Task

Controlled practice

1. Say what were you doing at five o’clock yesterday? And listen to your classmates carefully?

She was reading while I was doing my homework.

1. Let’s play a game “Find someone who”?

You have one minute to walk around the room and find at least one person in the class who was doing something at a certain time yesterday. If you find anyone, then ask that person to write his or her name on your card and you’ll get a point. The person who finishes first gets the prize. (Stickers). Ready? Take your pens or pencils and get your card. Get, set, go!

Feedback

6/ Reflection

Let us see whether we have found the answers to your questions. (I want to know …)

Look at the board and try to evaluate yourself.

• See, if you can form the past progressive Tense, then you are welcome to move a star into a smaller circle.

• Or maybe you can not only form, but you also understand the past progressive Tense, then you are welcome to move your star into the second circle.

• If you think you are able to understand and form and use the past progressive Tense then move your star into the biggest circle.

Homework

Make a card for your partner with all the rules and timelines of the past progressive Tense. Think of your own examples.

The lesson is over. Thank you for your hard work. See you tomorrow.
