Help learners move beyond memorized tense rules and choose the preterite or imperfect for the meaning they intend.
This bilingual Grade 12 lesson guides students from narrative noticing to a 45–75 second anecdote primarily in Spanish, with an answer key, teacher notes, differentiation, privacy safeguards, and self-assessment.

This ready-to-teach bilingual lesson uses a meaning-first context lens and event lens. Learners analyze short anecdotes, complete guided and controlled practice, plan from keywords, tell a 45–75 second anecdote primarily in Spanish, explain one tense choice, and identify a revision step.
