Simple Past vs Past Continuous HyperDoc

HyperDocs are 21st century lesson design templates where all components of a learning cycle have been pulled together into one central hub. They shift the focus from teacher-led lectures to student-driven inquiry-based learning through the exploration of concepts purposely crafted and packaged on a Google Doc or Slide, making room for more interactive and personalized learning. They include one or more opportunities for students to connect beyond the classroom, collaborate, create (and show what they know), share and reflect.

Using HyperDocs in any course at any level will allow you to offload your lectures and reimagine various ways to redefine the student learning experience while having more face time with students by moving around and conferring with them. This HyperDoc on Simple Past vs Past Continuous Tense has been prepared for Beginner, pre-intermediate and intermediate ESL and ELL students. You can easily use it in a mixed ability class by differentiating content and pace. You can even delete or change some of the content for some students. I uploaded my slide presentation on PowerPoint (please use it in the slide show mode so that you can access to the links) but you can access my Google slides here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ES7d8azlDNWc_HX3T6-0l5vI12GXms4Bcoc2104bOrg/edit?usp=sharing . Click File on the top right and click Make a Copy so that you can edit the slides. Please note that the links on the last two slides are for early finishers or for students who need extra practice. I deleted the Padlet (slide 14) and Flipgrid codes (slide 20) for students in the presentation as each teacher has to create their own Padlet and Flipgrid links for their classes.
