Grammar: Using the past tense with Korean connector 아서/어서/여서. This grammar structure means: as, because, so, since.
Lesson objectives: Students will review the past tense and be able to use it in a compound sentence using connector 아서/어서/여서. Students will understand connector 아서/어서/여서, which does not take the “았/었/였” past tense morpheme.
Directions: Your teacher will read a short story twice. When you listen for the first time, do not take notes; just focus on the overall meaning. When you listen for the second time, take brief notes. Do not try to write every single word or sentence. Focus on meaning. Afterwards you will be working with a partner to reconstruct the story based on the notes you and your partner took. You will have a total of 20 minutes to complete this task.
You will have an opportunity to compare your reconstruction with the original text at the end.
Grading: Students’ work will not be graded. I will use this as a classroom diagnostic assessment.

오래된 사진
오늘은 사진첩에서 오래된 사진 한 장을 찾았다. 사진 속의 친구들은 웃고 있다. 영수는 키가 아주 컸다. 친절해서 다른 친구들도 모두 영수를 좋아했다. 진수는 뚱뚱하고 다리가 짧았다. 친구들과 싸움을 잘 해서 모두 싫어했다. 유미는 얼굴이 둥글고 마음이 착했다. 유미의 동생 유선이는 손가락이 길어서 피아노를 잘 쳤다. 내 옆에 강아지가 있다. 이름은 복덩이였고 털이 아주 많았다. 사진 속의 친구들은 지금 어디에 있을까? 보고 싶다. 친구야.
