Description of an ancestor

You have studied the past simple tense with regular verbs. Now, you are learning some irregular verbs in past simple tense. In this unit, I propose you to do a project which consists of doing a trip to the past and describing a person.

For this project, you can:

1) Dress up as a person of the past and have someone (the teacher) take your picture.
2) Print a photo of a person of the past and bring it to the class.

Then, you are going to prepare the descriptions of these photos and record them.


Here you are an example of what I expect from you.
