Time Length:
15-20 min

Lesson Point:
Past Tense Verbs

The Plan:
This is for use after the students have come back from summer vacation. The object is to get the students to review past tense verbs. You should remind the students that they do not need to combine past tense verbs with was as many of them tend to make this mistake. (I was ate the fish.)
As an introduction to this activity you can tell the students about your summer vacation. You can make up a crazy fictional summer vacation if you think yours was too boring.
The students should be allowed to write about anything they did during the summer vacation, but encouraged, if they can, to write in paragraph form instead of just writing a list of things they did.
The students may find dictionaries helpful and I tend to add a list of useful adjectives on the back of the worksheet as well. Fast writers will have no problem filling up the sheet in ten to fifteen minutes writing time.
