In my classes, I used this Slideshow Presentation to cover the grammar in English World 5 Unit 1 p.25.  Because English World 5 was presenting a very rigid form (While+ Past Continuous+ Past Simple) I tried to mimic their form exactly. 

Make sentences using this pattern

While + subject + was/were + Ving + subject + V2

and draw a picture

In my classes, I used this Slideshow Presentation to cover the grammar in English World 5 Unit 1 p.25.  Because English World 5 was presenting a very rigid form (While+ Past Continuous+ Past Simple) I tried to mimic their form exactly. 

This is a standard scrambled sentence game.  Before class, the teacher cuts up the cards and shuffles them.  Students are given a blank grid, and the cards, and a glue stick.  In pairs, they must arrange the cards on the grid to make sentences.

There are many different variations possible besides the way I wrote the cards, and I accept as correct any reasonable answer when doing this in class.  In some cases, students who come up with alternative formations will run out of the correct "was" or "were" cards, in which case I allow them to write in the missing word with a pen.

While	he	was	swimming	a shark	ate him
While	he	was	listening to music	the phone	rang
While	we	were	driving to work	we	saw a fire
While	I	was	eating lunch	I	heard the news
While	you	were	sleeping	I	stole your money
While	they	were	watching TV	a lion	came into the house
While	she	was	walking	a dog	bit her
While	I	was	studying	it	started to rain

While + Past Continuous + Past Simple Slideshow

In my classes, I used this Slideshow Presentation to cover the grammar in English World 5 Unit 1 p.25.  Because English World 5 was presenting a very rigid form (While+ Past Continuous+ Past Simple) I tried to mimic their form exactly.  The first 6 pictures are taken from the English World 5 Textbook.  The other pictures are from around the web.
The section on meaning should be accompanied by some extra verbal explanation and concept checking questions, which are not written on the slides, but which the teacher can use in class at their own discretion.



The following class, I recycled the same pictures for a board race.  (To be used as a review in the subsequent class.)

While+ Past Continuous Scrambled Sentences

(TESOL Worksheets--Past Continuous, Conjunctions, While)

This is a standard scrambled sentences worksheet.  (The cards are cut up and shuffled.  In groups of 2 or 3, students re-arrange the cards out on the grid to make sentences, and glue them into the correct formation.  In this case, several different possible sentences are acceptable, and I accept any sentence that has the correct subject verb agreement)  In my classes, I used this to supplement English World 4 Unit 5 Grammar p.60, and indeed the grammar structure (two verbs in the past continuous) was specifically chosen for that reason.

While	the teacher	was talking	I	was sleeping
While	my brother	was eating	I	was running
While	the children	were crying	the teacher	was laughing
While	the mother	was cooking	the children	were watching TV
While	we	were walking	she	was driving
While	the cat	was sleeping	the dog	was playing
While	I	was dancing	my friend	was studying
While	they	were swimming	he	was fishing
