- T asks students which TV programs they used to watch as children: Which TV shows did you like in your childhood? Which ones did you hate? What were they about? The T provides models of past simple, but doesn't actively teaches or corrects the students yet. After brainstorming the names of the old TV shows, T asks SS to discuss what they were about in PW. After discussion, T asks the SS what their partners told them.

- T elicits from the SS words: composer, ice skater, twins. Then the T shows the SS the picture of amazing children from the quiz they are going to do with OHP and asks them to predict their age and occupation (variants are given on the top of the slide: a pop group, an actress, etc. T asks the SS to discuss it in PW before asking WC.

- T tells SS they will do a quiz in groups and they need to read and decide on the right answer all together. It's a competition and the group that gets all the answers right wins. T gives SS 3 min to complete the task and then checks WC with the help of listening to the recording. T asks the SS which group got all the answers right and discusses the questions students had problems with.

- T asks the SS to look back at the quiz and asks again where the composer Mozart was from and then asks if he is still alive. T asks the students if this sentence is in the present tense or in past tense. T elicits from the students which word in the sentence shows us it's in the past tense (was from) and what kind of verb it is ('to be').

- The T writes two marker sentences with was/were on the WB, asks SS some CCQs and puts the timeline under them to indicate that both sentences are in the past. - The T elicits and writes conjugation of the verb 'to be' in the past on the WB. - The T models and drills positive, negative, question forms of was/were and the short answers using was/were in the past simple.
