TRAVEL (past tense) - Lesson Plan

Basic/Intermediate

Business/Materials:

  • Photo / Photo slide of a travelling man and personal travel photo

Lesson Objectives:

  • Students will be able to identify the past tense of the verbs.

  • Students will be able to write a two-paragraph essay about what they did on their previous travels using the past tense.

Warm-Up & Objective Discussion:

Show students photos of people who are travelling. Ask students to describe the photos. List down the verbs that they stated and explain why they should use the past tense and how to use the past tense. Explain that they will be learning about the past tense of verbs and they will write at least a two-paragraph essay about the things that they did on their past travels. Explain that by the end of the week they will turn in a blog entry about their favorite travel experience.

Instruct and Model (R/W)

From the list of the student’s initial description of the photos presented in the warm-up activity. Isolate the verbs used. Check with the students if the verbs used happened in the past.

  1. Explain how to make past tenses of regular & irregular verbs.

  2. From the teacher’s practice list of verbs, ask students how they would make it a past tense.

  3. Explain why past tense are used when writing about past experiences and introduce how to write about experiences by showing a personal travel photo and present a paragraph about the photo.

***Teacher’s Model Paragraph: “This photo was taken at Sentosa Island in Singapore. I went there three years ago. I went there with my sister for my birthday. It was a sunny day when we went to Sentosa Island. We got there by cable car and I felt thrilled! When we got to the island, we were amazed by the different surrounding attractions.”

Guided Practice

  1. Show a photo of a nearby place that the whole class is familiar with.

  2. Provide at least five past-tense verbs on the side and ask students to write a paragraph about their experience on the place using the five past-tense verbs presented or their own past-tense verbs.

Independent Practice

Using the teacher’s model paragraph as reference, students will create their own travel experience essay with two paragraphs. The second paragraph should emphasize the things that they did during their trip.

***Teacher’s Model Paragraph: “This photo was taken at Sentosa Island in Singapore. I went there three years ago. I went there with my sister for my birthday. It was a sunny day when we went to Sentosa Island. We got there by cable car and I felt thrilled! When we got to the island, we were amazed by the different surrounding attractions.”

Assessment (W)

The two paragraph travel experience essay will be a part of their blog entries that will be compiled and kept weekly as they go through learning about verb tenses.
