DESCRIBE WHEN EVENTS HAPPENED
UNIT 10 T-116
LESSON 2 DESCRIBE WHEN EVENTS HAPPENED
Choose a warm-up activity from the Warm-Up Activity Bank on page xxii.
• Focus on the social media message. Read the message and ask Who is Yuki’s hero? (Michelle Obama) Do you admire Michelle Obama? Why or why not?
• Read the lesson title aloud. Draw an arrow across the board. In the middle of the arrow, draw a line and write
Now. Then draw a line to the left side and write Past.
Finally, draw a line to the right side and write Future.
Say, We’re going to talk about past events in this lesson. We’ll talk about future events in another lesson.
1 VOCABULARY
• Clarify the differences between past time markers that include from ... to, ago, last, and for. Focus on the first calendar. Draw attention to the vocabulary item from April to June. Point to the months on the calendar as you say, This is from April to June. Something that happens from April to June lasts for three months.
• Say, Imagine it is December. Point to December. Draw attention to the vocabulary item in October (two months ago). Say, October was two months before December. It was two months ago. Then point to November. Say, This was last month, or one month ago.
• Focus on the second calendar. Tell Ss to imagine it is December 19 and point to December 19 on the calendar. Go over the other vocabulary items and point to them as you say them.
• Then have Ss listen, and then listen and repeat.
EXTENSION Show a blank calendar for the current year and / or current month. Point to the current day as a starting point. Ask Ss questions to have them apply the past time markers to this calendar.
• Have Ss look at a calendar. Ask, What is the date today?
Have Ss start from this date as they work individually to identify the other dates in the exercise.
• Go over the answers as a class.
• In pairs, have Ss compare their answers to 1B. Then have Ss ask each other more questions about the calendar, using the vocabulary in 1A.
2 SPEAKING
• Draw attention to the picture. Say, This is Danielle and her son, Oliver. We’re going to listen to her talk about important dates in her life.
• Have Ss read the sentences as they listen, and then listen and repeat.
• Point out that we can say 2000 dates in two different ways: two thousand eighteen or twenty eighteen.
• Focus on the phrases the 14 of March and the week of January 2. Say, We write the numbers 14 and 2, but we say fourteenth and second. We can also write 14th or 2nd. Teach Ss how to pronounce other ordinal numbers. Write examples on the board: February 1 February 3 February 4. Ask, How do we say these dates? (February first, February third, February fourth) EXTENSION Ask Ss questions based on the
milestones Danielle describes. For example, When were you born? Encourage them to say the dates in a variety of different ways. (For example, In 1982. On May 18th, 1982. On the 18th of May, 1982. In May of 1982.)
LANGUAGE NOTE Different countries and regions say the dates differently. In many countries and regions, such as England, Australia, and Europe, the days are given before the months (dd / mm / yyyy).
For example, 14 April, 2020. In American English, the month is given first (mm / dd / yyyy). For example, April 14, 2020.
• Before they listen, have Ss preview the sentences. Then have Ss listen and circle the dates they hear.

• Go over the answers as a class.
• Before they listen, have Ss preview the sentences.
• Then have Ss listen and complete the sentences individually.
• Have Ss compare answers with a partner.

EXTENSION Divide the class into teams. Name a historical event and challenge Ss to figure out when it happened. The team with the most right answers in the fastest time wins. The Ss must say the dates correctly as well as get the correct years to earn points.
Let Ss use their phones or computers to look up information if appropriate. Possible events to include:
When did The Berlin Wall come down? (1989) When did the first man land on the moon?
(July 20, 1969)
When was John F. Kennedy assassinated?
