🦸 Explorers: The Rule-Breakers

A fully interactive A2 Kids lesson that opens the Irregular Heroes unit by teaching the first six irregular past verbs through a verb-as-superhero frame: go→went, see→saw, eat→ate, have→had, get→got, come→came. Students warm up with four questions about yesterday, then meet the language in two grammar blocks — 'No -ed for Heroes!' (regular verbs add -ed, but hero verbs change their whole shape, with formula chips, three examples and a past signal-words panel: yesterday, last night, last weekend, this morning, an hour ago) and 'The Six Heroes' (a base→past reference table with one form for all persons). Ten key items (the six verbs plus yesterday, last weekend, lake, brave) appear in a scrollable vocabulary table, and the six heroes get review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style Hero Report about a Team Compass day at the park, showing all six verbs in natural past context with hover-tooltip vocabulary. Practice offers eight contextualised fill-in-the-blank items (single-word past forms) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; speaking gives five 'My Yesterday' prompts and a four-line Team Compass dialogue; the writing task is a guided 25–45 word 'My Yesterday' paragraph with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and an eight-question quiz mixes irregular past forms with two comprehension questions about the reading, featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle and localStorage persistence.
