Teachers’ Notes
Aim
The aim is to introduce students to the past progressive.
Teaching the Class (before the handouts)
Use the flashcards to elicit and check your students’
understanding of the vocabulary and target structures.
Example: �walking�the�dog�
What was she doing last night?
She was walking the dog.
After you’ve elicited the vocabulary, hand out the worksheets. Write
all the new phrases on the board and have your students copy them
down on page 1. Then elicit the questions and answers from page 2.
Write them on the board and have students copy them down.
Target Structure

New Vocabulary
Verbs:
walking the dog, making dinner (or cooking), eating dinner, washing
the dishes, talking on the phone, taking a bath, doing the laundry,
reading a book, sweeping the floor, vacuuming, relaxing, exercising
Work in Pairs
Have your students work in pairs to complete the information
gap. They’ll need to ask each other about what George was doing
throughout the day yesterday.
Listening
For this task you’ll need to tell the students about what you
were doing throughout the day yesterday. Students have to listen
and write down what they hear. Use the verbs from today’s lesson,
or use other verbs that your students are familiar with. To make
the task more student-centered, have your students call out
the questions.
Student: What were you doing at 7:00 am?
Teacher: I was making breakfast.
Group Work
Students walk around the class finding out what everyone was
doing at 4:30, 7:30, and 9:30 yesterday. Students should start
by writing down what they were doing at those times before
speaking to their classmates.
Now Work Alone
When they are finished the pair work, have your students try the
follow-up activity to review their writing skills for this structure.
(Make sure they are not doing the follow-up activity and pair work
activity at the same time. These are meant to be done separately.)
