Step 1 - Distribute the lesson guide and tense chart for students to observe and study the retelling of events using different verb tenses.

Step 2 - Students complete the exercises in written form and check their work.

Step 3 - Students use the set of numbered cards to practice oral production at their own pace. This can also be a paired speaking activity or a whole class.

Step 4 - Listen to the audio recording of the exercises while reading along with the set of numbered practice cards. Each prompt is read twice, and time is then given to speak the response.

Step 5 - Listen to the audio recording of the exercises without the help of the practice cards to work on listening comprehension and oral production at the same time. Use the answer key from the exercise to check responses when needed.
