A Story Video

This story video is created to teach Pre-Intemediate students how to use Past Simple and Past Continuous Tense. For my classroom purpose, I will play this video for my students and ask them to watch and take note the events happen in this story. Then some questions will be asked to check their comprehension level. Additionally, True/False statements are displayed on the board and students have to work individually to decide each statement before they are asked to discuss with their friends about their own answers by giving some explanation from the video. To assist them to check their answers, the video will be replayed for them to check. 

The next activity, students are asked to highlight the tenses used in the story. Then I will ask for the volunteer to write down their answers on the board. Next, the students have to make up the rules of using Past Simple and Past Continuous Tense for the class under my facilitation. 

To help them practice using the tenses, they are put into group to create the story. They are encouraged to use story video, but it is not a MUST if they feel that they cannot. They can use story cards or role play for their stories. Enough time will be given to students to prepare their story before they are ask to share with the class.
