Travel through time: Past Simple & historical stories

VOCABULARY AND READING

The lesson opens with time-travel themed warm-up questions and leads into two rich reading texts: the story of the Curse of the Pharaohs and the legend of Atlantis. Students expand their vocabulary with words like archaeologist, expedition, legend, and civilization. The materials include definitions, image-word matching, and short texts with historical themes.

GRAMMAR

Grammar focus is placed on irregular verbs in the Past Simple tense. Students learn to identify and conjugate verbs like go → went, write → wrote, and speak → spoke. Visual charts and gap-fill exercises support understanding. Learners practise verb forms in context and strengthen their memory with drag-and-drop and match activities.

SPEAKING AND WRITING

Students are encouraged to imagine meeting historical figures, finding treasure, or waking up in the past, and express their ideas using Past Simple. Creative questions and recording tasks help build fluency in a fun, reflective way.

HOMEWORK / REVISION

Homework tasks include more practice with irregular verb forms, creative writing prompts, and audio-based questions about inventions and history. Students engage in both grammar review and open-ended recording challenges.

With over 20+ interactive exercises, this lesson balances storytelling, grammar drilling, and learner creativity.
