Topic: Importance of Clear Communication

 Highlight the importance of speaking slowly and clearly, especially


when using new grammar structures.
 Explain how practicing clear communication builds confidence in using
English.

Lesson Stages
1. Starter Activity (10 Minutes)
o Write the verbs play, walk, study, clean, and watch on the
board.
o Show flashcards for each action.
o Ask students to make sentences in the present tense: “I walk to
school. I play football.”
o Transition: “Yesterday, I played football. How do these
sentences change?”

Target Language: Introduce the Past Simple rule for regular verbs (add
-ed).

2. Grammar Presentation (15 Minutes)


o Write example sentences on the board:
 I walk → I walked.
 She cleans → She cleaned.
o Highlight spelling rules:
 Add -ed to most verbs (walk → walked).
 If a verb ends in -e, add -d (live → lived).
 Verbs ending with consonant + y: change y to -ied (study
→ studied).
o CCQs (Concept Checking Questions):
 Do we use the past simple for something happening now?
(No)
 Does “played” mean I’m playing now? (No, it’s
finished.)

3. Controlled Practice (15 Minutes)


o Task: Students complete a worksheet where they change verbs
to the Past Simple.
Example:
 I (walk) to school → I walked to school.
 She (clean) the room → She cleaned the room.
o Pair check answers before reviewing as a class.

4. Listening Activity (10 Minutes)


o Play a short audio about someone describing their past activities.
o Students listen and underline verbs in the Past Simple on their
worksheet.
Example sentences:
 “Yesterday, I watched a movie and cleaned my room.”
o Follow-up Questions:
 What verbs did you hear? (watched, cleaned, etc.)
 Did this happen yesterday or today? (Yesterday.)

5. Freer Practice (10 Minutes)


o Pair Work: Students ask and answer questions using regular
verbs in the Past Simple.
Example prompts:
 What did you do yesterday?
 I watched TV and studied English.
o Students share one of their partner’s sentences with the class.

Assessment

 Observe participation during the pair work for fluency and accuracy.
 Check completed worksheets for understanding of Past Simple forms.

Homework: Teacher's Initials:


 Write five sentences about a family member's job and daily routine using the
Present Simple. NKK
 Include at least two questions and two negatives (e.g., “My brother is a
doctor. He doesn’t work on weekends.”).

Teacher’s Notes

 Use CCQs and ICQs to check comprehension.


 Provide corrective feedback during speaking activities.
 Encourage students to focus on pronunciation of -ed endings (e.g., played, walked).

Reflection:

 Which activities were most engaging for students?


 Were there any challenges with spelling rules?
 Plan to incorporate more listening practice if students struggled with recognizing verbs in audio.
