Instructional Ideas

• Rather than hand out the informational chart on the first page, design a guided notes worksheet in which learners can identify the different verb tenses and how they're used
• Present each photograph one at a time, and then give learners time to write down a corresponding example for each type of verb tense. Then, ask for volunteers to share their examples to the whole group

Pros

• High-quality photographs
• Includes small chart listing the six verb tenses, how they're used, and examples of each in a connecting sentence
• Excellent lesson for ELLs

Cons

• None
