Then students will be introduced to the MPF of key grammar vocab (simple past verbs). After which, they will do a controlled practice activity involving these grammar structures. Lastly, they will do a freer practice activity that will allow them to speak with this new grammar in the context of their own lives. The lesson will end with open class error feedback.
