The class will be started with a short talk about my morning and the actions that were ongoing when I woke up. This will be followed by students writing their own examples about their morning or day in the chat box

I will choose 3 sentences from the lead-in and write them on the board in the correct past continuous form to draw students’ attention to the target language

I will draw a timeline on the board and use the highlighted examples to clarify the meaning of the past continuous. I will ask CCQs such as: “Are these actions in the past?” (Yes), and “Were they in progress at a specific time?” (Yes). I will then contrast the past continuous with the past simple using an example such as “I was making breakfast when the phone rang” to show a longer background action and a shorter completed action. Next, I will elicit the form from students and write it on the board: subject + was / were + verb + ing. I will also clarify the negative and question forms. Finally, I will focus on the pronunciation of the –ing ending to help students produce it accurately.

Students are going to do gap filling task on page 130 individually in 3 minutes. The task includes 5 questions focusing on choosing and forming the past continuous correctly. After finishing, the answers will be checked with the whole class.

Students will work in pairs and choose a favorite picture on their phones. They will describe what was happening at the time and explain why they like the picture using the past continuous
