CONTROLLED PRACTICE

Stage 5 of 7 — Controlled Practice

Time: 15 minutes
Source: SB p. 5, Exercise D Understand the Grammar and Exercise E Grammar Practice; TB T5 D–E adapted
Interaction: Individual choice → pair justification → rapid oral pair work

SB 5D — Listen, choose and explain

  1. Students preview the choices.
  2. Play the authorized audio.
  3. Students choose individually, then compare with a partner.
  4. Pairs explain the event order; they should not merely state a letter.
Item Answer Correct event-order summary
1 b The bus arrived after the filming was finished.
2 a Lisa had been thinking of buying the sweater that she left on the table.
3 b Diane had stopped driving before she texted.

SB 5E — Choose the form from the time relationship

  1. Pairs select the verb form.
  2. They underline the time clue.
  3. They orally explain why the form fits before recording the answer.

Answer anchor

  1. I had already seen the Picasso exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum, so I decided to stay home.
  2. Lorraine had been waiting in the rain outside the stadium for an hour when they canceled the game.
  3. Ella had been watching TV for two hours when her parents came home.
  4. She had tried the recipe for cheese bread several times before she served it to friends.
  5. Zach had already gotten a job as a medical technician when he decided he really wanted to go to medical school.

Finish with rapid oral transformations

Give two actions and one time cue. Partner A makes one accurate sentence; Partner B identifies the event order and changes the cue. Switch roles.

Checking rule

Use pair justification and discuss only disputed or high-value answers. Do not spend time reading every answer serially.

Planned balance: 12 minutes student talk / 1 minute teacher talk / 2 minutes listening and individual choice.

Stage complete when: students select forms from meaning and explain the event order. Continue to Semi-controlled Practice.
