Lesson Plan: Teaching Simple Past and Past Perfect to B1 Students

This document presents a lesson plan designed for B1 level English language learners, focusing on the simple past and past perfect tenses. The lesson begins with a warm-up activity involving discussions about feral children to engage students and introduce the context for the grammar concepts. The plan includes pre-teaching activities to introduce key vocabulary, followed by two reading activities. The first reading activity involves reading the text aloud and explaining the use of words. The second reading activity focuses on in-depth understanding of the text. The follow-up activity involves group storytelling to assess comprehension and application of the grammatical concepts. The lesson incorporates visual aids and audio materials to enhance the learning experience and uses a variety of activities to cater to different learning styles.
