Activity #8: (Pairs or Small Groups) Hand out six or seven Verb Cards to each group. Together the create a short story using all of the verbs in Present Tense. Then, students exchange their stories with another group and rewrite the new story into Past Tense. Activity #9: (Whole Class) The teacher draws a Verb Card and asks a Have you ever? question; Have you ever slept on a train? Have you ever forgotten your wallet? Students answer the question and the teacher asks a follow up question, When did you sleep on a train? When did you forget your wallet? Activity #10: (Small Groups) In groups of four or five, students have a stack of Verb Cards and a stack of Time Cards from Prism 9. All cards are face down. A student draws a Verb Card and a Time Card and makes a sentence using both; for example, On my 11 th birthday, I caught a bad cold and had to go to the doctor. This could also be done in the question format where another student in the group must answer.
