something or someone that changed in their lives. It could be about where they
live, things they do, or how they changed. Students should write four sentences.
Then ask volunteers to share their sentences with the class.

spend extra time working with the flashcards in small groups. Tell students to
review both sides of the flashcards with their partner or partners. Encourage
them to use the phrases

Topic of Discussion
Remind students:
There are many verbs that have irregular simple past tense
forms. This means they are not formed by base + -ed.
Tell the class you are going
to show them a verb and they will say the simple past tense form of the verb.
Show the flashcard, read the verb, and elicit the answer from the class. You
may elicit the answer by saying:
Today I…, but yesterday I…
After students have
reviewed all of the flashcards, turn the cards over and show the simple past
tense form and elicit the base form from the class.
