How could you prepare students for this textusing GV?
Past

The Time Machine
• Take students into the past or the future
• Let students wander around the streets and buildings
• Let students “talk” to people they meet
• Ask students to draw and/or write
• Provide structures students need to express what they experienced
and to make conclusions: past simple, used to, future simple, going
to, conditionals etc
