My own supplementary worksheet by Dimitris Zeppos https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets Post the worksheet you designed and would like to suggest for your EFL class. Also comment on the postings of other group members. en-us 2017-10-27 11:48:06 UTC 2023-02-09 16:37:22 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Watchclock.png This is a game-like worksheet perfect for kinesthetic, tactile, auditory/ linguistic, logical, bodily learners, with an interest mainly in sports and music, to practice the past tense. Learners have to figure out their identity and to do so they must communicate meaningfully with their classmates, while walking around and keeping active. The exercise is controlled and the task is completely free-practiced and fluency/communicative-focused. However, it does require a lot of time for the preparation of the materials, such as creating and cutting the cards and ADAPTING the texts (source; Wikipedia) for each of the 25 famous people. patrikiouhelen https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1906768352 ELENI PATRIKIOU]]> 2021-11-22 18:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1906768352 My own teaching material through learningapps.org. Gap-filling individual worksheet based on Computer Assisted Material (CAM) on-line non-interacted,individual, visual learning and linguistic intelligence with its goal on repeating the use of Past Tense. evkontot https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1906893986 2021-11-22 19:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1906893986 This worksheet has the same topic as the text of the workbook (Vikings and Aztecs are both lost civilisations), so that the class will not have to switch topics in an awkward way. The first two activities are easy, but the third, which is also a writing task, will help students revise and put past tenses into practice. It is more suitable for learners with higher linguistic intelligence. I had trouble finding activities that are not too long but would still be effective and engaging for students as well. sen1800091 https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1907066197 2021-11-22 22:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1907066197 antbosmi https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1908758169 The lesson is devoted to the Olympic games, a topic very appropriate for students who are interested in sports. I think students won't find it difficult to engage in these activities, which are mostly focused on recalling how the past tense is formed and used. After reading the text, we will devote some time in writting down unknown words included in the text, and new vocabulary, before moving on to the activities. ]]> 2021-11-23 15:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1908758169 Kastana Maria-Magdalini. A game-like worksheets that encourages learners to get involved actively with the educational process. Students learn through playing an all-time classic game, called "Bingo". It forces students to recall, detect and chooce numbers. This exercise is controlled and involves many different types of intelligence, such as the visual one. The "Bingo" game is proved to be highly beneficial. It doesn't require much preparation. mariloukastana https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1910837015 2021-11-24 15:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1910837015 spyros1512 https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1914199686 The main purpose of this worksheet is to help learners become familiar with the simple past forms of some of the most common irregular verbs. Learners are asked to watch a short video in order to complete the chart that follows. Watching a video is an interesting and funny way to study a grammar phenomenon which is  quite demanding. This worksheet is rather appropriate for visual-auditory learners with linguistic intelligence. After watching the video and completing the chart, students have to complete some sentences using the irregular verbs they practised in the first exercise in order to make sure they understand their meaning. In exercise c, they are asked to write a short story so as they can put their newly acquired knowledge into practice. ]]> 2021-11-26 11:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1914199686 sofiakon_8 https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1914455675 Since my students are interested in sports I've designed a worksheet to teach them the most common sports and how to refer to each one correctly. It is an activity that corresponds both to their age and their language level and is rather appropriate for visual learners with linguistic intelligence.]]> 2021-11-26 14:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1914455675 "Find someone who" is a great mingling activity which helps students interact one-on-one with their classmates. This activity serves as a good ice-breaker in a new class. The purpose of this activity is to help students practice their past tense knowledge, while promoting their interaction through conversing with one another. This activity promotes kinesthetic, auditory, linguistic and logical types of intelligence, and draws examples from everyday life, making it easier for the students to understand the statements. jsamantzis7 https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1914700010 Giannis Samantzis]]> 2021-11-26 17:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1914700010 (Vasiliki Ntzani) This worksheet is mainly designed for auditory/linguistic B1 language level learners, who are acquainted with a short clip from "Home Alone". In the clip, many Past Simple verbs are being used, so the student has to then transform them into the Simple Present and the opposite. Then they are asked to do another smaller activity, in which they transform affirmative sentences into question and negative form. I believe that this worksheet will be entertaining for the students to complete and will familiarise them with the grammatical phenomenon of Past Simple. https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915299411 2021-11-27 10:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915299411 This worksheet was designed for young learners of A2 level CEFR as a supplementary material for their textbook. Students can practise countries and nationalities and answer questions about themselves based on the topic. There is also a listening activity. Students will watch a video from VOA (Voice of America- https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/lets-learn-english-lesson-16-where-are-you-from/3355849.html) about the same topic and fill in gaps. I designed this worksheet in order my students to revise the new vocabulary items they learnt and be able to answer questions like "Where are you from?" or "Where do you live?". In addition, the video provides a real-life experience where these questions can be asked. The only difficulty I encountered is that i wanted my worksheet to be suitable for my students level and a bit challenging for them, but not discouraging. Nikoleta Zisi nikolletaz https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915360003 2021-11-27 11:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915360003 PARASKEVI ANNA BAKALAKOU vivi162000 https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915407625 This worksheet is a revision on the past simple of regular an irregular verbs.  I decided to provide the students with a recap of the two main rules of the use of past simple: 1) we use it for routines and habits. 2) we use it to tell stories. As an exercise on the first rule I asked students to write a short answer using the past simple as a response to the question that I posed on them. This will help with their writing skills, with expressing themselves and will encourage them to put their knowledge into action. As far as the second rule is concerned, I decided to ask them to engage with the lesson's grammar in a more fun way, by dramatizing a story/putting up a play in front of the classroom in pairs. This is an exercise that will capture the interest of all students and especially those with a kinaesthetic-tactile learning style. It will also work as a great way for the students to work on their interpersonal skills, as they will have to communicate with their fellow classmates in order to write the story and then produce the play in the classroom.]]> 2021-11-27 13:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915407625 Mavra Aktypi - First, this worksheet focuses on listening and reading comprehension and ability to detect forms of Past Simple in oral and written texts. They will read and listen to the same extract from the well-known book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and then complete the activities that follow, which focus on the practice of Past Simple, with regular and irregular verbs. The target intelligences are mainly linguistic and interpersonal at a second level (since the students are asked to interact with their classmates after the writing activity). The teacher's role during the completion of the worksheet is to be the guide, to introduce the activities, help them with unknown vocabulary in order to complete the exercises and generally provide any help if needed. https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915525549 2021-11-27 15:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915525549 Alexandra Konstantinidi- This is a worksheet designed to help students learn how to describe people and events of the past. There are five pictures, each one an important figure of the past. The pictures are accompanied by three questions related to the identity and the achievements of the famous figures. Students should answer these questions in the Simple Past and then discuss amongst themselves who they think was more important. They could even be divided into 5 different groups and each roleplay as their selected famous figure. https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915589368 2021-11-27 17:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915589368 Konstantina Argyriou- The worksheet I designed aims to the development of students’ reading comprehension and the production of a short paragraph which will be the product text of a small research they are asked toconduct on their own. Moreover, a separate activity has been designed for students to practice and revise their knowledge on the past-tense forms of regular and irregular verbs. A possible difficulty that may come up is the vocabulary of the reading text that is provided,considering that some words may be unfamiliar to learners. Nevertheless, that is an issue that can easilybe resolved, if we give students some time beforehand to quickly scan the text and ask for any unknown words. https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915676430 2021-11-27 19:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915676430 Eirini Kalafati- This worksheet is focused on reading comprehension and practicing on the Past Simple tense. Students will learn about great figures of the past, more specifically Albert Einstein, and will be able to refer to them using both regular and irregular verbs in their past form. Through the activities that are desinged, learners will be able to detect forms of Past Simple in the text and convert them into Present Simple. A possible difficulty in the reading comprehension would be the unknown vocabulary that students might encounter, therefore, the teacher should ask for any unknown words before moving on to the activities and provide their explanations. e_kalafati https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915710816 2021-11-27 21:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1915710816 This worksheet is intended for A1 learners of English as a foreign language.It is about some inventions of the Argentinian people in the past.Therefore,the worksheet practises the use of the Past Simple tense of the verbs in the texts to be read.The teacher has to explain the outline of the worksheet to the students and then in pairs promote collaborative work,in order to fill in the gaps of the activity.At the end of the activity,each student will talk briefly about an invention that he/she is aware of in the Past Simple tense,using useful vocabulary that the teacher will provide them with. elchr97 https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916129978 2021-11-28 11:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916129978 aggelikivas https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916347132 This a listening activity based on a song that uses plenty of verbs in the past simple form. The students will practice their listening skills and then have the chance to write the present form. There is a vocabulary exercise based on the lyrics of the song and finally they are asked to create their own sentences using both the past simple and some of the new vocabulary found in the song. The teacher helps the students with new vocabulary and with any questions that may arise. Finally, the song gives the chance to the teacher to briefly introduce the next grammatical phenomenon - the "used to".

]]> 2021-11-28 15:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916347132 This worksheet combines speaking, listening and grammar. More specifically, the Ss are expected to watch a short clip taken form the movie "The Pirates of Caribbean" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a27YX-ToMM4) and are therefore asked to afterwards complete an exercise based on the clip. This activity is thus appropriate for Ss of visual-auditory style while simultaneously combining the linguistic and logical intelligence. After completing the exercise the Ss are asked to retell the story to their classmates in the Past simple tense. Finally, a possible dramatization of the scene is possible thereby targeting those of kinesthetic learning style and intelligence. Consequently, the Ss are able to both practice their grammar and vocabulary knowledge through also working on their listening and speaking skills. https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916396356 2021-11-28 16:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916396356 Despoina Kyriakidou - Worksheet https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916405509 This worksheet is meant to be used right after the students have completed reading activities 1 and 2 in pages 44-45 of the workbook. Before they watch an animated video related to Norse mythology, the students have to complete the gaps in the sentences in Activity 1 with the apporpriate forms of the verbs in brackets in the simple past tense. This acts both as a drill to help students practice using verbs in the past simple tense but also as a pre-viewing activity that will prepare the students for the content of the video.

Activity 1 is a True-False activity that helps the students develop their listening skills and prepares them for Activity 2. In Activity   2, students have to watch the video one more time and then rewrite the story in their own words, using the past simple tense.

This worksheet is appropriate for the school the lesson is going to take place, as the school is equipped with computers, interractive whiteboards and projectors and has access to the Internet. The video is animated and not particularly demanding for 12-13 year old students. There is no use of Greek (L1 for the majority of the students) so that all students can equally participate equally and get the most out of this lesson.]]> 2021-11-28 16:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916405509 Students' language level: A1-A2 https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916471779 This worksheet's purpose is to include both grammar and history. There are visuals in the worksheet in order to avoid being dull and exhausting for the learners. The worksheet contains of visual and auditory elements. The students not only will listen but they will watch, so everything will be more clear for them. There is an activity where they will be working in pairs. That means they will learn how to cooperate with others and learn to listen and respect to other opinions. In the end, they will have to make a presentation with their pair orally in front of the class using the knowledge and the grammar they learnt. So, in this worksheet they will use their hands by writing, their eyes and ears by watching and listening and their mouth by speaking. This way, they will learn comprehend tasks that include more complex texts like history, they will learn to use their brain, their writing skills will improve and they will be able to communicate better.

Students would learn more about the Vikings, and especially the sports they participated in (a topic that interests them). Moreover they would practice more the use of the Past Simple.
Georgia - Maria Epsimou]]> 2021-11-28 18:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916496575 Marianna Chlinou mariannachlinou https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916585228 Τhis is a revision worksheet about the past simple. Its target group is mostly audiovisual students and it incorporates the linguistic level of intelligence. I would use it at the end of class to summarize what we have learned. The Christmas theme, the video, and the last exercise add to the fun since this is a very traditional type of worksheet. ]]> 2021-11-28 20:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916585228 Tsilinkeridou Maria https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916791419 This is a self-made task that involves video watching (visual, auditory styles), stimulates learners in a fun way (witty, figurative language) and promotes collaborative work and communication in forming responses to questions that appear prior to relevant parts in text. Students are to take notes and form their responses at the end of the video by using the right form of verbs (past simple: ir/regular) as they hear them in the video. What's more, the topic of the video recycles vocabulary of the reading text and helps consolidate meaning of words through visual aid and by mnemonic association.]]> 2021-11-29 00:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1916791419 In my opinion this worksheet fullfill to some extend the criteria of backwards design model but there is definitely a lot of room for improvement and lacks that need to be filled in order for the students to be more effective.First of all it is very important students to be able to know what to do and what is worthy retain after this exercise as for example here the use of Past Simple through everyday examples. Secondly, it is very important for the teacher to choose material that will follow the same line with the desired results as in this exercise in which all sentences refer to the past in order this past tence to be revised and consolidated. Finally very crucial is the instructions of the exercise to be given clearly and understandable to all the students something that I think has not been completely achieved here, as the student is immediately introduced to an exercise without further and helpful clarifications and also into the context of a lclassroom this worksheet should be differentiated according to the specific characteristics of each one of the students so as to meet the standards of all pupils and as a consequense to be effective for all of them! evkontot https://padlet.com/zepposd/worksheets/wish/1918303281
