Instruct and Model Section of Lesson Plan

Objective:
Students will be able to use the simple past tense to write a paragraph describing an event in their
childhood.

1. Presenting the Information (Teacher Talk):

 Introduction to the Topic:


I will begin by asking the students questions related to their childhood to get them thinking
about the past. For example: "Can you remember a fun day from when you were younger?"
This will help them recall memories and connect personally to the lesson.

 Clarify the Objective:


I will explain that today we will learn how to talk about past events using the simple past
tense. I will write the sentence, "I went to the beach last summer," on the board and underline
"went" to highlight the past tense. I will then ask the students to think of other action words
(verbs) they use in the past tense.

2. Modeling (Demonstrating the Process):

 Modeling a Personal Story:


To introduce the concept of the simple past tense, I will tell a personal story from my
childhood. For example, "When I was a child, I went to the park every weekend. One Saturday,
I met a new friend and we played soccer together. It was a really fun day!" I will emphasize the
verbs "went," "met," and "played," showing how they describe actions in the past.

 Visual Support:
I will use visuals or a timeline to show the sequence of events in the story. For example, I could
draw a simple timeline on the board with "Saturday morning" at one end and "playing soccer"
at the other, to show how the past events connect.

 Modeling Writing:
After sharing my story, I will write a short paragraph on the board. For example: "When I was
10 years old, I went to the beach with my family. We stayed there all day and I made
sandcastles. It was a great day!" I will explain each sentence as I write it, pointing out the verb
tenses and how they describe actions in the past.

3. Eliciting and Engaging Students:

 Ask for Examples (Model, Infer, and Elaborate):


I will ask the students to share their own childhood memories using the past tense. I could say,
"Now, let's hear from you! Can anyone tell me about something fun they did when they were
younger? Use the simple past tense!" I will provide additional support and model corrections
if needed, such as saying, "Remember, we use ‘went’ not ‘go’ for past actions."

 Interactive Practice:
After a few students share, I will give them a worksheet with simple prompts like, "When you
were 5, what did you do for fun?" or "Tell me about your last vacation." They will write down
their answers using the past tense, and I will circulate the room to offer feedback and correct
any mistakes.

4. Making the Lesson "Sticky" (MUD):

 Memorable:
By sharing personal stories and asking students to reflect on their own memories, I will create
a personal connection to the content. I will use metaphors, like describing the past tense as "a
window into your memories," to help them visualize its use.

 Usable:
Throughout the lesson, I will keep reinforcing the structure of past tense sentences and
provide opportunities for students to practice and apply it, ensuring they understand how to
use the past tense in real-life contexts.

 Durable:
To ensure the lesson sticks, I will provide simple, memorable examples and a few useful
phrases they can use in everyday conversation. I will encourage students to share their writing
with peers to reinforce the learning process.

By using these strategies, the students will be actively engaged, have clear models to follow, and
practice applying the new skills in a conversational way. This will help make the lesson "sticky" by
ensuring they understand, retain, and can apply the past tense when talking about their own past
experiences.
