Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students choose verb forms that show when an action happens. They use time clues such as yesterday, today, and tomorrow to form clear sentences.
What Mastery Looks Like: Given a time word, students choose the matching verb form. They can write sentences such as “I played,” “I play,” and “I will play.”
Common Misconceptions: Students may use the present form for every time, such as “Yesterday I walk.” They may write forms like “goed” or use “will” with a past-tense verb.
How to Assess It: Exit ticket: Use “jump” to complete these sentences: “Yesterday I ___,” “Every day I ___,” and “Tomorrow I ___.”

Lesson moves

Give pairs action picture cards to sort under yesterday, today, and tomorrow headings, then say a matching sentence for each card.
Ask students to write three sentences about one action: what they did yesterday, do today, and will do tomorrow.
Play Verb Time Charades: a student draws a time card and action card, acts it out, and classmates say the sentence.
Use the class schedule to compare what students did earlier, do now, and will do later, using complete sentences.
