- what is past tense
- Basic verbs about actions	

Anticipated Problems and Solutions:

       ∴ Students may not understand the rule of ‘used to’
->	 Give them more examples.
∴ Students may need more time to play a board game
->	 Give them more time and give them short time in post-activity.
∴ If the time is short
-	Cut time to do worksheet short and let them do only 5 questions.
          ∴ If students finished their task earlier than anticipated.
-	Ask as many students as possible about their idea and opinion.

	Procedure:

1. Listen to the music and elicit the topic "Used to"

- Today, I'm going to start the lesson with music. Now I’ll show you a music video. Listen carefully and please guess what’s a title of a song.

ICQ
- What are you supposed to do?
- What should you guess? Should you guess the singer’s name?

-Ok, let’s listen.

(Play the music video)

Monitoring
Monitor quietly.

- When you listen to the music, what expression did you catch?
- What do you think the title of the song is?

(Ss may answer "used to" and write it on the board. Check pronunciation)
-How do you pronounce ‘used to’?
-Do you need to make a ‘d’ sound?
2. Introduce the topic "Used to"
(Show picture of smoking)
Now I’ll show you a picture. What can you see in the picture?
Here is a man who smoked in the past. But today does he smoke? No, he quit smoking.
For this situation how can we say? We can say “He used to smoke.” 

-When do we use the expression ‘used to’?

(If students don’ t answer give them explanation: When we talk about the past habit, we use it. We use it for something that happened often in the past but no longer happens. We also use it for something that was true but no longer is.)

-What is the affirmative form?
-What is the negative form?

CCQ
- A few years ago did he smoke often? Does he still smoke?
- When we want to talk about our past habit, what expression can we use?
- When you pronounce it, do you need to make a ‘d’ sound?

	Procedure:

1. Play a board game
Instructions
Now we're going to play a board game. It’s a group work so I want to divide into 3 groups. (Make 3 groups of 2 students) 

(Put a board game and a dice on the table.)

Here is a board game and a dice. Throw the dice and move your mark. One person of your team asks the question and the other person answers. When you answer, you have to use the expression “used to”. If your answer is not correct or you don’ t say “used to”, you will lose a turn.
And candies on the board mean your score. You should get candies as many as you can. A team which has the most stars will be the winner. We will counter stars after all team reach the finish.

Demonstration
Before we start, I’ll show you a demo first.
If ____ and I are one team and I throw a dice get 1. Move 1 space and ____  read the question, and I answer “I used to … “ 
When the mark goes the space “Pick a card”, pick one card. There is a picture and character’s name on the card. And I answer “Donald Duck used to go fishing.”

ICQ
- Do you work alone?
- When you answer, what expression should you use?
- How win the game?
- Will the game end when one team reach the finish? 

To decide an order, do rock-scissor-paper. 
Ok, now begin.  

Monitoring
Monitor discreetly. Answer students if they ask questions.

Good job everyone.

The winner is **team. Congratulation. I’ll give you a prize.
