Students discuss their activities from the previous day, focusing on complete past-tense sentences. Suggested questions: - What did you do yesterday? - Did you have any interesting experiences at work? - Did you examine any patients? - What was the most difficult responsibility you had yesterday? - Did you learn or develop any new skills? After discussing in pairs, students share one interesting thing their partner did. The teacher notes common mistakes involving verb forms and auxiliary verbs without interrupting fluency.

The teacher reviews the structure of the Simple Past through veterinary examples. Form Example Affirmative The veterinarian examined the patient. Negative The veterinarian didn't prescribe antibiotics. Question Did the veterinarian confirm the diagnosis? Short answer Yes, she did. / No, she didn't. Students identify regular and irregular verbs in a selection of sentences. The teacher reviews the following verbs, emphasizing their past forms: Regular Irregular Examine → examined Give → gave Develop → developed Take → took Check → checked Find → found Treat → treated Have → had Recover → recovered Go → went Look → looked Feel → felt Calm → calmed Become → became Students transform sentences from affirmative to negative and interrogative forms. The teacher briefly practices -ed pronunciation and emphasizes the use of base-form verbs after did and didn't.

The teacher introduces or reviews the function of chronological connectors. Target connectors: first, then, next, after that, before, when, later, finally. Students receive six mixed-up sentences describing a veterinary consultation. Example events: - The veterinarian performed a physical examination. - The owner brought the patient to the clinic. - The veterinarian confirmed the diagnosis. - The technician checked the patient's vital signs. - The veterinarian prescribed treatment. - The owner picked up the patient. Students arrange the events into a logical sequence and rewrite the story using appropriate connectors. Example: "First, the owner brought the patient to the clinic. Then, the technician checked its vital signs. After that, the veterinarian performed a physical examination..." The teacher highlights the difference between sequencing connectors and clauses with before and when.

Students complete a short veterinary report containing missing verbs and time connectors. Example: "Yesterday, a dog ___ (arrive) at our clinic with several symptoms. First, the technician ___ (check) its vital signs. Then, the veterinarian ___ (perform) a physical examination. She ___ (find) signs of infection and ___ (give) the patient treatment. Finally, the owner ___ (receive) a prescription." Students also transform selected statements into negative sentences and questions. Example: "The veterinarian prescribed medication." Negative: "The veterinarian didn't prescribe medication." Question: "Did the veterinarian prescribe medication?" Students compare answers and explain the grammatical rules.

Students interview each other about a real or imaginary veterinary case. Suggested questions: - When did the case happen? - What symptoms did the patient have? - What did you do first? - Did you perform a physical examination? - What diagnosis did you make? - What treatment did you recommend? - What happened after that? - How did the patient recover? Students take brief notes and then present their partner's case to the group. Requirements for the oral report: - At least five past-tense verbs, including two irregular verbs. - At least four time connectors. - At least five Week 1 vocabulary items. The teacher monitors accuracy and provides feedback after the presentations.

Students collaboratively create a story about an unexpected situation at a veterinary clinic. The teacher provides an opening sentence: "Last Friday, a worried owner arrived at the clinic with a very nervous dog..." Each student continues the story by adding two or three sentences. Students must incorporate the week's vocabulary, time connectors, and regular and irregular verbs. Suggested vocabulary prompts: - Symptom, infection, diagnosis, treatment, recovery - Responsibility, confidence, experienced, reliable - Check out, look over, calm down, lie down, pick up Example continuation: "First, the technician tried to calm the dog down. Then, the veterinarian looked it over and found an infection. After that, she explained the diagnosis to the owner." The teacher can introduce unexpected events to make the story more challenging, such as a second patient arriving or the owner forgetting the prescription.

Students write a short narrative of approximately 80–100 words describing a real or imaginary veterinary case. Their narrative must include: - At least five regular past-tense verbs. - At least three irregular past-tense verbs. - At least four time connectors. - At least five Week 1 vocabulary items. - At least one negative sentence. Students exchange their writing with a partner and check for correct verb forms, chronological order, and vocabulary usage.

Students complete a brief assessment containing: - Three questions requiring correct regular or irregular past-tense forms. - Two sentence transformations into negative or interrogative forms. - Two sentences requiring appropriate time connectors. - One original sentence using Week 1 vocabulary and the Simple Past. The teacher reviews common mistakes and gives brief feedback.
