ORGANIZATIONAL MOMENT: the student on duty tells the absents; the T writes the
absents in the register, then the T checks the homework and the students correct the
mistakes, if necessary.
Timing: 5 minutes.
ACTIVITY 1:
Aims: to test the Ss’ ability to:
-complete the sentences with the right verb from a box, making the difference
between regular and irregular verbs;
-identify the structure of the regular and irregular verbs in past simple.
Timing: 5 minutes.
Interactions: work group, T-Ss, Ss-T
Procedures: The T announces the title of the lesson and writes it on the blackboard. The
class is divided into five groups. The groups are given some worksheets and announced
there is going to be a competition between them, so the timing is very important. The T asks
the Ss to solve the first exercise by completing the sentences with the right verb from a box.
The Ss do this task and read the exercise, correcting the mistakes, if necessary. The T asks
the Ss to tell the difference in structure between regular and irregular verbs. The Ss answer
the T’s questions. The T writes down the points gained by each group after solving the
exercise.
ACTIVITY 2:
Aims: -to develop the Ss’ ability to identify the past forms of some irregular verbs in a
puzzle in a short period of time,
-to practice the recognition of the infinitive of irregular past verbs and their writing
in pairs.
Timing: 10 minutes.
Interaction: work group, T-Ss, Ss-T.
Procedures: The T proposes the Ss to identify the irregular past verbs in a word puzzle
(exercise 2) and write down their infinitives. The Ss do this task as quickly as they can, not
forgetting they take part in a competition.The T checks their answers and correct them if
necessary. Also, the T writes down the points gained by each group after solving this
exercise, too.
ACTIVITY 3:
Aims: to test the Ss’ ability to:
-write down from their memory the past of some irregular verbs from some
sentences,
-order these sentences so as to summarize the Red Riding Hood’s story.
Timing: 10 minutes.
Interaction: work group, T-Ss, Ss-T.
Procedures: The T gives the Ss envelopes containing 8 sentences written on 8 pieces of
paper representing the Red Riding Hood’s Story. The T asks the Ss to complete the blank
spaces with verbs in past tense simple. The Ss do this task. Then, the T asks the Ss to stick
the 8 pieces of paper containing the sentences on a blank sheet of paper in the right order
so as to make a summary of the story. The Ss do this task successfully, too. The gained
points are written down.
ACTIVITY 4:
Aims: -to develop Ss’ reading skills and vocabulary,
-to test the Ss’ ability to translate the text correctly,
-to develop Ss’ ability of asking questions based on already given answers.
Timing: 18 minutes.
Interaction: work group, T-Ss, Ss-T.
Procedures: The T asks the Ss to read the story of Ugly Duckling and translate it. The Ss
try to make a correct translation, the unknown words being already given. The T gives the
Ss a final task that of asking questions about the story based on some answers. Each group

WORKSHEET
4. Read the story of The Ugly Duckling.
A duck sat on her nest, waiting for her eggs to hatch. When the eggs cracked and
the little ducklings came out, she saw that one of them was very ugly. She looked at him
angrily, so the little duckling ran away in the fields.
Soon he arrived at a great marsh where the wild ducks lived. All the ducks there told him
he was very ugly and laughed at him. He ran away from the great marsh. The rain started
to fall. The ugly duckling was wet and cold and hungry.
Just as the night fell,he found a little house. He went in to get warm. An old woman
lived there. She had a cat and a hen. But when they all found him in the morning, they sent
him away, telling him how ugly he was. So the little duckling was on his own again.
One day, he saw a flock of beautiful white swans and felt sorry he wasn`t as
beautiful as they were. Winter came and the duckling had nowhere to go and no food to eat.
He was always cold and hungry.
But after many long weeks, the spring sun began to shine again. The duckling
spread his wings – they were strong wings now! He flew high into the sky to meet the
beautiful white swans. Now he was one of them.
to hatch = a iesi din ou
marsh = mlastina
flock = stol
swan = lebada
so spread the wings = a intinde aripile

Example: Why did the ugly duckling run away from the duck’s nest?
