Unit 8 Health Habits

What did you eat and drink for_______ yesterday?

I ate__________. I drank______________.

Reflection:

This is a new lesson. And it is a bit difficult for the Ss to learn. The Ss have to know\the simple present tense and the simple past tense first, then distinguish them. When they were making the investigation, many of them made the mistake like” I ate______. I drink_____.” I designed too many charts for them to do, so I didn’t have enough time to finish the following steps.
