In the month of Nov and start of Dec, we spent a number of weeks on teaching the Simple Past tense. The students also had fun with a mid-term test, where we tested their retention of possessive pronouns, prepositions, and family members that we have been studying thoroughly. As most of them are in the 7th and 8th grade, we are working on getting down the basics before moving on to more difficult stuff. Through the use of formulas and reading from a storybook written in the past tense, we were able to understand how to form past tense sentences. Through all of our repetition, let’s hope they hold onto past tense sentences as they enter Christmas break! Next topic: Adverbs ! 🙂
Here’s a cute tool 🙂
