Lesson Overview

Breaking News! Read all about it! In this lesson, students will discuss dramatic events and headlines. Students will learn and practice the past continuous tense and vocabulary relating to this topic. The lesson includes plenty of engaging discussion activities and worksheets that have been developed for adults and teenagers.

Lesson Objectives



  • Grammar: Students will learn and practice the past continuous tense to talk about actions that were happening at a specific time in the past. They will focus on forming affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences using "was/were" + verb-ing to describe ongoing events and situations.




  • Speaking: Students will engage in discussions about dramatic events, using the past continuous tense to describe what people were doing during those events. They will share personal experiences related to dramatic events and speculate on the actions of others in various scenarios presented in the lesson.




  • Vocabulary: The lesson introduces vocabulary related to dramatic events and emergencies, such as "traffic jam," "power outage," "earthquake," "tornado," and "flood." Students will also learn vocabulary used in describing actions in progress, such as "running," "screaming," "sleeping," and "watching."




  • Homework: Homework tasks are designed to reinforce the lesson's focus on the past continuous tense and vocabulary. Students will match sentences with corresponding events, complete sentences using the past continuous tense, choose correct answers based on the context of events, describe actions based on photos depicting different times, and write creative answers to describe what people were doing in hypothetical situations.
