class-roll.

STAGE 2: Warm -up.

answer and correct the mistakes (if needed).
Time: 1O min.

STAGE 4: Actual progress of the lesson.

The teacher shows students a picture of a person (that they have already met and
named in previous lessons) and asks them some questions: ,,What do you think she
did yesterday?". The students answer using past simple] and then write the
sentences on the board and on their note-books. 5 min.
Then, the teacher asks students to think of the actions that person was doing in a
particular period of time (changing the tense from past simple into past
continuous). The students answer and write down. 5 min.

The teacher shows the students another picture and elicits them to form some
sentences related to that picture, changing the task several times (group work) :
- Write six sentences about what happened last time at the math class (a definite
moment in the past - use past simple).
- Write six sentences about what were some persons in the picture doing at that
moment (actions in progression at a particular moment in the past - past continuous).
- Now, join the sentences above using ..when" or ,,while" to show what were the
persons in the picture doing at the same time {simultaneous actions in the past -
past continuous). 15 min.
Total time: 25 min.
