This lesson plan focuses on teaching the simple past tense and having students summarize a chapter of The Phantom of the Opera using that tense. Students will be divided into groups to underline verbs in different tenses in their assigned chapter. They will then create a presentation with images representing the underlined verbs to help them retell the chapter. The goal is for students to practice and improve their writing, speaking, and understanding of the simple past tense.
