2.pronounce and write correctly every past tense form of the verbs provided by the teacher;
3.provide the affirmative form of a regular verb in the past tense ;
4.read a poem for specific information;
5.make up sentences of their own using the newly acquired grammar rules;
6.provide the correct form of the verb to be in the past in different communicative situations
7.ask/answer to questions from the teacher or from their peers,saying what they did last week-end

B. Affective Objectives :
a. to create a warm atmosphere for study;
b. to give students an active role in the process of teaching/learning;
c. to help students enjoy speaking a foreign language ;
d. to make students confident when speaking English
Skills : listening, speaking, reading, writing
Interaction : T-Ss, S-S, Ss-Ss,PW,GW,IW

Work in pairs – Communicate”,table drawing, choral speaking,gaps, songs
Methods of Teaching : Communicative Approach , Grammar Translation
Teaching Aids : textbook , blackboard, notebooks, flipchart, dictionary, coloured pieces of chalk,
worksheets with different activities
Assumptions: I assume that students already know the past tense of the verb to be and the grammatical
category of verb and that they are eager to find out more details about regular verbs in
English and actions that began/finished in the past.
Anticipated problems: Taking into consideration that 4-5 students have a poor level of knowledge and
their motivation is rather low , the teacher expects that a part of her young students might not participate
in the teaching/learning process as expected.
Assessment : formative, oral, homework, systematic observation
