📅 My Last Weekend: What Did You Do?

The first lesson of the A2 Teens journey, building on the present-simple and can foundations from A1. Students warm up by recalling their own weekend, then study the past simple for finished past actions: regular verbs (+ -ed) and the most common irregular verbs, with the key point that the form is the same for every subject. Clear formula blocks present positive, negative (didn't + base verb), and question (Did + base verb) forms with short answers, and a spelling table explains the -ed rules (+ed, +d, y→ied, doubling). A visual base→past verb grid shows twelve high-frequency verbs colour-coded as regular or irregular. The reading is an extended, double-length story (around 430 words) in which three teenagers — Nora, Daniel, and Layla — describe their very different weekends (busy, quiet, and away), modelling natural past-simple use and a gentle message that there is no single 'best' kind of weekend. Ten key vocabulary items appear in a horizontally-scrollable table with part of speech, A2-friendly definition, and example, while six receive detailed flashcards (including irregular pairs go→went, see→saw, buy→bought). Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions with hints, live validation, and score tracking; a speaking section where partners ask 'What did you do?'; a guided 60–80 word writing task with a checklist and live word counter; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a result circle with motivational feedback, and localStorage persistence.
