Differentiation is provided
by learning styles:
Visual

Imagine this (W,
G)
Teacher asks learners to
imagine that they are mountaineers and they are going to compose
and design their own expedition. Learners should use ‘Storyboard’
graphic organizer.
Descriptors:

answers
We are going to learn more
about tenses which we have already learned before. Today’s theme is
“past simple”. Here is the structure of each
tense:
Past simple – the action which
happened in the past. Affirmative form created by using verb-2 or
with adding “–ed” to regular verbs. We also use adverbs such as
“yesterday”, “… ago” and/ or “last …”, etc. For example: Leny
learned German language last year.
Negative form created by using
did + not + verb-1. For example: Leny did not learn German language
last year.
Interrogative form created by
using did + noun/pronoun + verb-1 ….? For example: Did Leny learn
German language last year?
