The document outlines an English language learning activity to practice using verbs in the past tense. It is divided into three segments: In the first, students share stories about childhood toys to activate their knowledge of past tense verbs. Next, students work in groups to arrange story cards and retell a story from different character's points of view. Finally, students write their own first-person story about how they got their favorite childhood toy, using past tense verbs. The goal is for students to practice expressing and writing narratives in the past tense through storytelling and inferring activities.
