A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use learner pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until feedback.
- Read the journey checks and distinguish remembering a duty from recalling it, and stopping an activity from pausing for another.
- Complete the travel/problem-solving items and rewrite quitting, resting, remembering and forgetting.
- Write a memory, duty and change; compare two patterns with a partner and suggest a fix using Try plus -ing.
Support and extension
Try to highlights an attempt and try -ing often tests a method, but these are not absolutely exclusive. Accept trial-method readings of opening/lifting where appropriate.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
