Starting the lesson

The lesson is mainly focused on the speaking tasks by asking and answering about what happened in the past. The task type is “listing tasks” as learners find things by asking one another. The process involves individual, pair, and group work.

Having shown pictures to the class, the teacher asks students to look at pictures of different activities and randomly asks a few students to review the past simple-tense questions they learnt from a previous class.

For example, The teacher shows the school picture and asks T: Were you at school last Monday? Ss: (Yes, I was. / No, I wasn’t.) T: Where were you yesterday? Ss: (Answers must related to the place shown in the picture) T: What did you do there? etc. Ss: (Answers must related to the activity shown in the picture) Note: Students must answer the questions in “Past simple tense” related to the pictures that the teacher shows.

Studens will be able to construct their own sentences related to the given pictures. Studenst connect the picture to speak with their background knowledge.

The teacher lets them watch a video from youtube about what did you do ? Students are to be more familiar with structure and usage.

lıstenıng actıvıty - 10 mıns

1. The teacher randomly selects 5-8 students to present individually. 2. Based on the planning paper, each selected students has to talk about where one person went and what he or she did only one day of the previous week. Students are also required to present things about themselves. 3. The name of the student mentioned in one presentation should not be mentioned again in others. 4. While selected students are presenting, the rest of the class must listen carefully because they must not present the data of the same person. For example, Ss: (On Monday, I was at the mall, I hung out with my friends and Eymen was at the park, he played basketball there.)
