The document provides details on an English class for upper-intermediate students that focuses on teaching news reporting and the past tense. The class meets twice a week and will work on three objectives: 1) using adverbs with the past and past perfect tenses, 2) learning new vocabulary from current news and distinguishing past perfect from simple past, and 3) distinguishing between the past progressive and simple past tenses. Activities include group work analyzing sample news articles, discussing experiences using the target tenses, and creating collaborative stories using only simple past or past progressive.
