Yesterday’s Picture Challenge
Look closely. Listen to your teacher. Talk about yesterday with was and were.
Your speaking goal
Describe the picture as yesterday
Use Unit 1 weather vocabulary with was, were, wasn’t and weren’t. Give a short, clear answer: one or two sentences.
- Your teacher turns over a card.
- The roulette chooses a student for question 1.
- Another student answers question 2.
- After both pictures in a pair, compare the differences together.
Pronunciation matters: make was/wasn’t and were/weren’t sound different. Speak clearly enough for your classmates to hear.
