LEARNING OBJECTIVES

M At the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to write at least two sentences about what they did at the weekend.

C At the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to ask and respond to questions about the weekend correctly.

1. Say a verb in past tense or present tense form.

I. PRE-LESSON
II. LESSON DEVELOPMENT
III. POST LESSON
2. Pupils mime the action.
3. Repeat with other verbs.
1. Activity 1:
➢ Use the flashcards to review key verbs in present form.
➢ Hand out sets of blank cards to pupils. Show a verb card, and ask pupils, in pairs, to write
the verb on a blank card (present tense). Repeat for all verbs.
➢ Write sentences on the board to show both present and past forms.
e.g. I go to school at 8 o’clock every day. Yesterday, I went to school at 8 o’clock. etc
➢ Ask pupils why we use go and went in these sentences. They needn’t use words like ‘past’
or ‘present’, but can say because it’s every day or because it was yesterday. Explain that
it’s in the past.
2. Activity 2:
➢ Ask pupils in their pairs to write the past form of the verb on the back of each card.
Monitor and help pupils, making sure they are accurate. Ask pairs to help each other if
necessary and/or check the verbs with the whole class.
➢ Pairs play a game with their cards. They spread the cards on the table with the present
form up. In turns, pupils say a sentence using the past tense of a verb they can see. Then
they check the underside of the card – if they used the past tense correctly in a sentence,
they keep the card.
3. Activity 3:
➢ Ask some pupils questions about their weekend (see SB p.91). Then in their notebooks, pupils
write at least two sentences about what they did at the weekend.
➢ On the board, write some jumbled-up questions on the board. Ask pupils to unjumble them
to make questions. They could write them in their notebooks or you could nominate pupils
to come and write on the board, or do this orally. For example: did / Where / go / you / ?
➢ Pupils work in small groups. One pupil reads their sentences about the weekend. Then each
group member has to ask a question about the weekend until pupils can think of no more
questions to ask. Each pupil takes a turn to read their sentences.
1. Ask pupils to think about what they have learned in Unit 9 and how well they feel they know
the language now. Pupils complete the How did I do in Unit 9? self-assessment worksheet.
 2. Collect the worksheets/notebooks from pupils and review them to note pupils’ performance.
3. If there are any areas of concern, prepare a review of these in upcoming lessons.
