Storytelling
During language arts pupils make a clock with a paper plate, a clip and
hands.
The teacher practices simple questions/ answers using the simple past
tense and involving time. For example, What time did you eat breakfast?
I ate breakfast at 7 oclock.
Pupils use their clocks and answer the questions using the simple past
tense.
Pupils can write down their partners answers or complete a simple survey.
The teacher reads a story to the class (choose a story that has examples
of the simple present tense).
Pupils are given an action; clap, wave arms in the air, stand up, shake
heads.
Pupils listen to the story, when they hear the simple present tense they do
the action.
KSSR Grammar
Simple Past Tense
Charlotte Lewis
Pupils are each given a sheet of paper. Each pupil writes five sentences
using the simple past tense. BUT THEY MUST MAKE DELIBERATE MISTAKES
WITH THE TENSE! (Yesterday, I eatted fruit for breakfast.)
Pupils then swap their paper with a partner who corrects it for them.
Partners check their answers together and then with the teacher.
Pupils sit in a circle. The teacher puts a pile of flashcards with practiced
verbs on in the middle of the circle.
Pupils pass around a ball until the teacher shouts Stop!
That pupil must come to the middle of the circle, choose a flash card and
use it to make a sentence with the past tense.
The other pupils listen carefully and put their thumbs up if they think the
sentence is correct or their thumbs down if they think it is incorrect.
