| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Storytelling with a deliberate mistake) |
Teacher Script: "Good morning, class! Yesterday evening, I watched some interesting TV programmes. First, I turn on the TV at 7 p.m. I watch a documentary about animals on Channel 5. Then, I switched to Channel 3 and enjoyed a comedy show. After that, I see a news programme at 9 p.m. Finally, I turned off the TV and go to bed. Did you notice anything strange in my story?" Instructions: After storytelling, ask: "Who can spot the mistake? Raise your hand." Listen to responses. Confirm the mistake: "Yes, I used present tense 'turn', 'watch', 'see', and 'go' instead of past simple. We should say 'turned', 'watched', 'saw', and 'went'. Today, we'll practice past simple tense while talking about TV shows." |
Students listen attentively. They raise hands when they hear a grammatical mistake (present tense verbs used instead of past simple). Possible student response: "You said 'turn' but it should be 'turned'." Students participate in identifying the error. | Observation: Teacher notes which students actively listen and identify the mistake. Success descriptor: Student can identify at least one incorrect verb tense in the teacher's story. | No physical resources needed. AI tool: ChatGPT could be used to generate a short story with a deliberate mistake for the teacher to adapt and tell. |
