i am trying to teach the past simple and past progressive in a good 8th
grade group. they are smart, but also very stressed.
they know how to form the 2 tenses, but still have no idea when to use each
one. i have explained, had them make sentences based on pictures, looked at
the different tenses in texts, made time lines ..
and they still say -
"but it's all the same time " (like in hebrew).
any ideas of how i can get them to really internalize the concept? i would
love to do something that gets them moving around, but with 39 kids that's a
little hard. (maybe i could take them out to the lobby if there is something
that would help them understand...)
thanks for any ideas.
