Material for Lesson 10

<Activity 1:> Powerpoint presentation
Use the powerpoint presentation attached to teach many verbs. It may need to be shortened or simplified.

<Activity 2> Brainstorming verb endings
Students are encouraged to use their book and their memories of other words to come up with a list of regular verbs. We’ll try for at least 10.

The words the students say will then be categorized into three groups. Endings that sound like “ed”, endings that sound like “t” and irregular endings (if there are any).

Some verbs to use:
Made, took, walked, washed, watched, cleaned, read, studied, visited, played, went, brushed, carried, closed, combed, cooked, counted, danced, dropped, finished, helped, cried, climbed, jumped, learned, listened, lived, opened, painted, planted, played, pulled, pushed, remembered, returned, looked, prayed, saved, screamed, showed, smelled, smiled, stayed, stopped, studied, talked, traveled, walked, watched, started, tasted, worked.

Try to get the students to come up with some rules for the sounds of the endings. Why is walked pronounced the way it is and why is tasted pronounced the way it is?
<Activity 3: Charades>

Students describe the steps in a process after their classmate acts it out.
One student will be given three different actions to perform. He/she will act them out in order.
Their teammates will describe the actions using the simple past.
Each team gets one point for each action they describe correctly, using the simple past.
For example. “I brushed my teeth.”

I got this from another thread and it had a really low download and view count.
It uses Pixar's short movies and a worksheet to review the past tense.

I can't find it to credit the user who made it but it's too good not to share.

I edited the worksheet slightly to add a word selection box.

This isn't much but here is the blazing pens game with verbs and a few sentences from this this lesson.

For the final unit:

- students had to write a short blog about their summer holidays (we had this lesson just after it).

Review past tense.
Brianstorm what they did for summer.
I told them what I did for my summer. (example blog)
Now it's their turn.

I've borrowed tons of stuff from this site, and am slowly but surely trying to donate my share of resources too. I made this yesterday, and thought I'd post it here, especially cause this unit doesn't have much on the waygook site.

This is a mystery Whodunnit Activity. The PPT explains the mystery to the kids (you can make the crime whatever you like, really). I made 8 suspect profiles. The ss have to collect info about all the suspects (info is focused on past simple verbs and also some description which they learned in Unit Whatever). We have 4 tables in our class, so I split those 4 groups in half and had 2-3 ss fill out the info for 4 suspects. Then they all came back together at their tables and I revealed the 4 clues. The ss had to figure out who the robber was. Everyone was really engaged and it took close to 20 minutes to complete.

Also, I stripped this PPT template from another user so thanks to whoever that was~!

Here is a dictation relay activity based on story A. Numbers with sentences are put up around the classroom. Students work in pairs. One student will go up and read the sentence and then dictate it to their partner. The parter will write the sentence down. They will then switch roles and the other student will go find a sentence. Once the team is finished they will sit with their hands on their heads. When everyone is finished we will then play story A and the students have to reshuffle the sentences into the correct storyline.

This is a great activity! Thanks!

Uno for this period.

The borrowed the card template from another user, but added in different images and sentences. I included a couple extra cards, so you can pick and choose which sentences you want to use.

I'm also including an instruction PPT that I made and modified for my classes. It should help clear up any confusion your kids might have about the special cards (+2, Reverse, Skip, Wild, Wild +4).

there are cards in the book with pictures on the front and sentences on the back in this lesson.  Is there some way to get these images from the disk?  I would like to use the same images in the book for my ppts.

Any help would be appreciated.
