New ideas for simple past
|
|
Hi dear fellow teachers, I was wondering if you could give me some ideas to start a new topic about the Simple past to students aged 14/15... We �ve already worked on school cliques and part-time jobs for teens this year. Thanks a lot for your help and have a nice day :) |

Historic events are a good way in to the topic. Choose something that you think will get the interest of your class. I just did the Moon landing with my class and they really enjoyed it. |

You should try �Crime stories �. The pupils love it! I have an extract of Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl I like working on. Then I usually show the pupils the Hitchcock version of the story. I also worked on the first episode of the series Dexter in that lesson. Well, you can find many ideas dealing with that topic using simple past... |

My teenage students love urban myths - The hitchhiker who turns out to be a mass murderer or a ghost, that kind of thing. |

Hello, I agree with Audrey! Crime stories are great to use the simple past and the Be +ing form. |

I use the film "Oliver Twist" to study the Victorian era ,the simple past and be+ing.It �s very interesting and the pupils do like the film.
