Ss will have some focus on weak forms when practising the contractions in the above tenses.

Personal aim(s)

Try to be more teacher-centred and reduce my teacher talk time. Try and elicit more from the students and build in more pairwork.

Evidence Ss will be able to complete the controlled practice activities and then use the tenses to write and then tell a story about something that happened to them in the past.
