Past simple – regular verbs The past simple is the most common way of talking about past events or states which have finished. It is often used with past time references (e.g. yesterday, two years ago). Please explain past events or states! A past event could be one thing that happened in the past, or a repeated thing. I stopped at a zebra crossing. A state is a situation without an action happening. We stayed at my grandparents' house last summer. How do you form the past simple? Regular past simple forms are formed by adding -ed to the infinitive of the verb. start → startedkill → killedjump → jumped Yes, but there are some spelling rules. agree → agreed like → liked escape → escaped If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled before -ed. stop → stopped plan → planned If a verb ends in consonant and -y, you take off the y and add -ied. try → tried carry → carried But if the word ends in a vowel and -y, you add -ed. play → played enjoy → enjoyed OK, not quite so easy! Aaagh! Good question.
Where can I get free board games and card games for my ESL class? - Virtual Writing Tutor Blog Despite the enormous popularity of video games, young learners still love to play board games with family and friends. Designing a game for others to play can double the fun. And it can add engaging learning opportunities to a course on any subject, including English as a Second language. Why are games so engaging? I have a few ideas on the subject. Games are Stories You Play Games are a lot like stories. Like the protagonist in a story, we start off with a goal, hoping for success. There has to be enough excitement in both stories and games to keep us engaged. There is mystery and adventure. Ups and Downs Games and stories provide a kind of emotional exercise. As with stories, we feel real emotions when our luck changes. In our imaginations, the other players can transform into threatening antagonists that draw out dark competitive instincts. When we win, we feel relief and satisfaction. Cooperation Games produce cooperation. Winners and Losers Skill versus Luck Game Design Sixty-Six Squares
Interactive Calendar – Speakeasy News Les rituels de début de cours, particulièrement importants pour les jeunes apprenants sont parfois réalisés de façon mécanique sans que les élèves comprennent toujours l’intérêt de donner la date ou de dire le temps qu’il fait. Voici un exemple d’activité introductive qui enrichit le rituel de la date et donne l’occasion d’élargir les horizons culturels des élèves. Pourquoi un calendrier interactif ? C’est une conversation sur Twitter avec une collègue d’anglais de l’académie de Créteil, Carine Alves, qui est à l’origine de la création de ce calendrier interactif. La création d’un calendrier interactif relevait pour moi de quatre besoins. Deuxième besoin : je souhaitais atténuer quelques frustrations. Troisième besoin : je voulais mettre en avant le plaisir et le temps de la découverte. Quatrième besoin : je souhaitais travailler sur les deux premiers piliers de l’apprentissage mis en évidence par les neurosciences cognitives auxquelles je m’intéresse fortement. Auteur(s) :
Teaching online with Comprehensible Input - Online teaching with Comprehensible Input A few months ago I attended a workshop "PQA" with Kirstin Plante and Carmen Meester.I had already seen Justin Slocum Bailey and Sabrina Sebban-Janczak at work in Agen, where they also did a PQA with us. So I was convinced of the value of this method.Already in the 1st week of september I tried to do a PQA with my students, but that was disappointing! I soon realized that a good PQA is so much more than a 'class discussion' with your students. And so I was very happy to have the opportunity to attend the workshop with Kirstin and Carmen. I still find it difficult to find 'good questions' for a PQA, because the 'quality' of your PQA depends entirely on the questions you ask.So, if you have already done a nice PQA with your students, let me know the question you asked. You would do me a great favor. The PQA A while ago (before the lockdown) I asked my students the following question: "Which country would you like to visit once? Download File

Texas Doctors Rank (1-9) The Risks of Catching COVID-19 In These Activities On Monday, the Texas Medical Association (TMA), an organization of 53,000 physicians and medical students across the state, released a chart of common activities ranked by their chances of spreading COVID-19. The chart ranks activities like checking one's mail with a low-risk score of "1" but other activities like going to a bar with a high-risk score of "9." The activities were ranked by physicians from the TMA COVID-19 Task Force and the TMA Committee on Infectious Diseases. A spokesperson from the TMA told Newsweek that the numeric rankings do not represent absolute percentages on whether a person will or won't contract coronavirus through certain activities. As such, a "1" doesn't represent a 10 percent likelihood of contracting the virus nor does a "9" equal a 90 percent likelihood. Newsweek subscription offers > "The risk of exposure increases in you're close together for long periods of time and not following the other protocols," the TMA spokesperson told Newsweek.
Crea recorridos de realidad virtual con estas herramientas Una de las aplicaciones más interesantes que proporciona la realidad virtual a la educación es que podemos ‘trasladarnos’ a otros lugares y desplazarnos a través de ellos como si estuviéramos allí. Un ejemplo son estas entradas de las que ya os hemos hablado: Las mejores visitas virtuales a museos, lugares de interés…, 10 visitas virtuales al Patrimonio de la Humanidad en España, Visita las 7 maravillas del mundo sin salir de clase o 20 museos con visitar virtuales para descubrir. Pero, ¿qué os parecería crear contenidos y recorridos de realidad virtual para el aula? Las siguientes herramientas os ayudarán. Crear animaciones en 3D, animarlas con código y explorarlas gracias a la tecnología de realidad virtual o aumentada. Así es CoSpaces Edu, una herramienta que optimiza las habilidades de alfabetización digital, mejora la creatividad y fomenta la colaboración en el aula. Se puede utilizar no sólo para crear aplicaciones con realidad virtual sino también aumentada.
3 Useful YouTube Tricks, a Video Listening+Speaking Activity. A Flipgrid Proposal. Unit 1 of my textbook is dedicated to questions. All sorts of questions: indirect, with prepositions at the end, negative interrogative questions, echo questions, question tags… etc. Yeah, I know.
