(Section A 1a-1c)
Level: 9th grade
Aim: To help students learn and use vocabulary related to talking about past habits and experiences.
Objectives:
To introduce and practice vocabulary related to talking about past habits and experiences.
To enable students to use the structure "used to + verb" to talk about past habits and experiences.
To provide practice in listening, speaking, and writing skills through a variety of activities.
Materials:
Whiteboard and markers.
Handouts with phrases and questions related to talking about past habits and experiences.
Pictures or video clips related to students' past experiences.
Procedure:
Warm-up:
Start by asking students to share a past experience that they used to be afraid of. Encourage them to use descriptive language to talk about their feelings and thoughts.
Vocabulary:
Introduce new vocabulary related to talking about past habits and experiences such as "used to," "would," "as a child," "when I was younger," and "back then." Write the words on the board and ask students to repeat after you. Explain the meaning of each word and provide examples of how to use them in sentences.
Listening:
Play an audio recording of a conversation between two people talking about their past experiences. Ask students to listen carefully and take notes on the vocabulary and structures used in the conversation. After the recording is finished, ask students to share what they heard and write the phrases and questions on the board.
Grammar:
Introduce the structure "used to + verb" and provide examples such as "I used to be afraid of the dark," "She used to ride her bike to school," and "They used to live in a small town." Explain that this structure is used to talk about past habits or experiences that are not true anymore.
Practice:
Distribute handouts with phrases and questions related to talking about past habits and experiences. Ask students to work in pairs to read and discuss the phrases, using the vocabulary they learned earlier. Encourage students to practice using the structure "used to + verb" to talk about their own past experiences.
Picture/Video Activity:
Show pictures or video clips related to students' past experiences. Ask them to describe the pictures or videos using the vocabulary and structures learned in class. Encourage them to use the structure "used to + verb" to talk about their past habits and experiences.
Writing Activity:
Ask students to write a short paragraph (5-7 sentences) about a past habit or experience using the structure "used to + verb." Encourage them to use descriptive language and provide details about the experience. Collect the paragraphs at the end of the class and review them for errors and provide feedback.
Conclusion:
Review the new vocabulary and grammar structure learned in this lesson. Encourage students to continue using the structure "used to + verb" to talk about their past habits and experiences.
Assessment:
Observe students during the picture/video activity and writing activity, and assess their ability to use the vocabulary and structures related to talking about past habits and experiences. Give feedback on their use of vocabulary, grammar, and descriptive language.
Extension:
For extension, you can have students work in small groups and create a dialogue where they talk about their past habits and experiences using the structure "used to + verb." They can then perform their dialogues in front of the class, and other students can provide feedback on their use of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
Homework:
For homework, ask students to write a short essay (150-200 words) about a past experience they used to have. They should use the structure "used to + verb" to describe the experience and provide details about how they felt at the time. Encourage them to use descriptive language and provide examples to support their writing. Collect the essays at the beginning of the next class and review them for errors and provide feedback.
