A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Review daydream, nightmare and ambition. Both dreamt and dreamed are acceptable. Allow an invented or mild dream instead of a distressing personal nightmare.
- Explain daydreaming and describe a remembered or imagined sleeping dream with enough context for a reader.
- Contrast a childhood ambition with a current goal, using past and present forms appropriately.
- Compare with page 2's models and revise the explanation of dreaming to distinguish a possibility from certainty.
Support and extension
For support, use As a child... but now.... Extend by adding realistic steps towards an ambition. Scientific explanations in the models are not a research text, and learners do not need to interpret dreams or reveal upsetting experiences.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
