Teacher: "Good morning! I want to share a short news snippet with you. 'At 8 PM last night, police were investigating a mysterious, glowing package found in Central Park. Witnesses reported they were walking their dogs when they saw the strange light.' Based on this, what do you think was inside the package? What were the police doing when they first arrived? Discuss with your partner for one minute." Circulates, listens to predictions. Teacher: "Interesting ideas! Today, we'll become story detectives ourselves. We'll read a mysterious story, find out exactly what happened, and learn how to ask precise questions about ongoing past events using the Past Continuous tense, just like a reporter or an investigator would." |
