Lesson plan-of-past-continuous-tense
This 70-minute lesson plan aims to teach secondary two students about the past continuous tense. The lesson begins with introducing the tense through a story told with pictures. Students then practice forming the tense and asking questions in it. Most of the lesson focuses on speaking practice, with activities like a guessing game where students act out past actions and a pair work activity comparing pictures. Students consolidate their learning by doing an accompanying workbook individually. The goal is for students to understand and verbally apply the past continuous tense by lesson's end.
