Teaching the Simple form to elementary students with low comprehension of the English language can be challenging but with a well-planned multiclass course, it can be made more accessible and engaging. Here’s a suggested lesson plan:

Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to understand and use the Simple form in basic sentences.

Materials needed: - Flashcards with simple verbs (e.g., eat, sleep, run) - Sentence strips with simple sentences - Whiteboard or blackboard - Markers or chalk - Worksheets or handouts for practice

Lesson plan:

1. Warm-up (5 minutes):
   • Begin the lesson with a simple warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge. For example, play a game of Simon Says using simple verbs. Use gestures and actions to demonstrate the verbs, and have students follow along.
2. Introduction (10 minutes):
   • Introduce the concept of the Simple form by explaining that it is used to talk about actions that happened in the past or actions that happen regularly.
   • Use visual aids such as flashcards to show examples of simple verbs and their corresponding Simple form (e.g., eat - ate, sleep - slept).
   • Write the verbs and their Simple forms on the board, emphasizing the changes in spelling.
3. Guided practice (15 minutes):
   • Provide sentence strips with simple sentences using the Simple form. For example, “I ate breakfast this morning” or “She sleeps at night.”
   • Read the sentences aloud and have students repeat after you.
   • Ask comprehension questions to check understanding. For example, “When did I eat breakfast?” or “When does she sleep?”
   • Have students practice reading the sentences in pairs or small groups.
4. Interactive activities (20 minutes):
   • Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a set of flashcards and sentence strips.
   • In their groups, students should match the flashcards with the correct Simple form sentence.
   • Encourage students to discuss and explain their choices to each other, promoting peer interaction and language practice.
5. Consolidation (10 minutes):
   • Hand out worksheets or handouts with fill-in-the-blank exercises using the Simple form.
   • Monitor students’ progress and provide assistance as needed.
   • Review the answers as a class, discussing any common mistakes or difficulties.
6. Wrap-up (5 minutes):
   • Summarize the lesson by reviewing the key points about the Simple form.
   • Ask students to share one sentence using the Simple form, encouraging them to use the new structure they have learned.

Note: It is important to adapt the lesson to the specific needs and abilities of your students. Use visual aids, gestures, and repetition to reinforce understanding. Provide ample opportunities for practice and encourage students to use the Simple form in meaningful contexts.
