Description

In this lesson ss learn and practice about past habits. First I will tell them that I will take them to a fantasy trip so they will close their eyes and listen and concentrate to what I am saying.Once they finish listening to the fantasy story I was saying , I will tell them to be pairs for them to tell each other about the situations they experienced. This will improve their productive skill of speaking. Then I will ask some volunteers to tell me about their friends experience. (we will have a conversation) After that we will be emphasizing on MFPA of used to. Following that we will do a dictation activity which will improve their receptive skills. Finally, they will write their own poem using used to. By the end of the lesson they should be able to understand the use of used to.
