Teacher: "Good morning, class! Let's start with a mystery. Listen carefully: 'Yesterday at 7 PM, I was in my room. I wasn't sleeping. I wasn't eating. I was holding a book, and my eyes were moving across the page. What was I doing?' Write your hypothesis on a sticky note. Let's hear your ideas."
After collecting answers: "Great guesses! The answer is 'I was reading a book.' Did you notice the verbs? 'Was holding,' 'were moving' – these describe actions that were in progress at a specific time in the past. That's our topic today: the Past Continuous tense." |
Students listen to the riddle. They think individually and write their guess on a sticky note (e.g., "You were reading," "You were studying"). They share their hypotheses with the class. | Descriptors: The student participates by offering a hypothesis related to the riddle. No points. |
Sticky notes, whiteboard, markers. AI Tool: ChatGPT can be used to generate a variety of engaging, level-appropriate riddles using Past Continuous to spark curiosity. |
