10mins: Introduction - Beginner questions 'What's your name, how old are you, where are you from, have you got any brothers or sisters? What's your favourite day of the week? What do you usually do on this day? What's one thing you like? One thing you don't like? What's one thing you can do? One thing you can't do?

• Extension: ask students to write two questions on a piece of paper. Then, students trade papers with a classmate and write responses to each other's questions.

05mins: Review present continuous. Play 'you are verbING'.

10mins: Review: Was/were - the past tense of the verb 'to be'. Discuss which pronouns agree with which verb.

10mins: You were there! A game to practice was/were - Have all students except for one stand in a line. Let student 1 look at the line for ten seconds then close their eyes while the others scramble the line and take a new position. The student opens their eyes then has to put them back into the original order saying 'You were there, he was there etc'.

10mins: Worksheet: page 30 - 'was/were'.

10mins: Game: Where were you? Brainstorm a list of locations with the class. (the cinema, the beach, a school, a house, a supermarket, etc. The longer the list the better) Write these locations on small pieces of paper and fold them up. One student will go first. They will choose one of the papers, keeping it a secret. The other students will take turns asking the student, 'were you at the ........ yesterday?'. The student will respond, 'yes, I was' or 'no, I wasn't'. When a student guesses correctly, they will have to say the sentence 'he/she was at the (location) yesterday.' Then it's their turn.
