Find instances of past simple in the text:

The teacher hands out the photocopie, which is a slightly abridged version of a text from the British council (words have been highlighted and an image added) In order to elicit previous knowledge on meanings of action verbs and the formation of past simple she will ask the students to read the highlighted verbs as she copies them on the board

etc…

She will then read through the text, accompanying with gestures and follow the text with the true or false exercise

Clarification (10 min)

Focusing the atention back on the board, the teacher then points at the verbs written on the board and asks what they have in common, eliciting the rule for making the prast simple for regular verbs (verb+ed) and checks the true or false exercise with the students.
