Bob’s Trip to Arizona (part 3) – reading comprehension and Past Simple with a PDF and live worksheets (A1).
I’m sure that everyone can’t wait summer holidays. Still, there are a few weeks of remote schooling left, and we need to keep our students motivated, which doesn’t seem easy at this time of the year. It’s been a while since I posted the last episode of Bob’s story. His journey continues as the grammar of the text develops a bit. I hope your students will find the story as exciting as mine do.
In part 3 of the trip to Arizona, Bob and Nebi go back to Tarak’s workshop. Tarak is the local artist who promised to make a turquoise necklace for the boy’s mum. The structures are still simple; however, I decided to use the simple past tense of some commonly used verbs as this is the grammar my 5th-grade students have been practising recently. As previously, the main goal is to provide the students with some reading practice with a pinch of excitement and mystery.
