In this stage, I will tell my students about the things I was doing between 5 pm to 7 pm. I will use some verbs that my students are familiar with and some verbs that have important spellings when they are added with -ing.

I will ask my students to go to the reading part of page 17 and find a few of the sentences that have the same structures as the sentences that I had written about myself in "Lead-in" stage.

I will draw a timeline to clarify the meaning of past continuous and highlight a portion of the past part. And then I will ask some CCQs; (Are the sentences about past, present, or future? -past. Is the action completed or in progress? - In progress. Can I say the exact time? Yes.) Then I will elicit from the students to ensure they understand the structure of the sentences (Subject + was/ were + verb + -ing | The negative form, the question form, the spelling of some verbs with -ing). Then I will talk about the difference between past simple and past continuous by saying we often use past continuous and past simple together in the same sentence; we use the past continuous to talk about a longer action that was happening in the background when shorter simple past action happened. Again, I will ask some CCQs; (Which one is longer, past simple or past continuous? - past continuous. Which one was happening first, past continuous or past simple? - past continuous.)

The students have 5 minutes to go to page 129 and complete the exercises of 2B. Then they will have 2 minutes to check the answers in pair and then the students will check the answer with the teacher.

The students will work in groups of 3. Each student will have to show a picture on their phone to others and talk about what they were doing in the picture and then tell the whole class about it.
