Unit 3 of Ticket to English 2 covers Education — a topic students engage with naturally, paired with two closely related grammar structures that are easy to confuse: Past Perfect Simple and Past Perfect Continuous. Below are six free, ready-to-teach lesson plans covering the full unit.
All six are free to download, aligned with the Moroccan Standards-Based Approach.
What’s Included
Vocabulary: Education
Essential vocabulary related to education, giving students the language they need to discuss learning, schooling, and academic experiences confidently.
Grammar: Past Perfect Simple
A full lesson on the Past Perfect Simple, helping students express which of two past actions happened first — a structure that shows up regularly in both the language and writing sections of the exam.
Grammar: Past Perfect Continuous
A follow-up lesson on the Past Perfect Continuous, extending the same past-before-past concept to ongoing actions, and directly addressing the confusion students often have between the two forms.
Functions: Expressing Purpose
Practice expressing purpose clearly — essential language for explaining why an action was taken, and a function tested directly in the exam’s language section.
Reading: Education
A reading passage on education that builds comprehension skills alongside genuine engagement with the topic.
Writing: A Report
A complete lesson on report writing — a more structured, objective writing format than the letters covered in other units, giving students practice with a different register and organization.
Built around Ticket to English 2
All six lessons are aligned with the Unit 3 syllabus and the Moroccan Standards-Based Approach, so they slot directly into your existing pacing for this unit.
How to Use These in Class
Teach the two Past Perfect lessons close together
Since Past Perfect Continuous builds directly on Past Perfect Simple, covering them in the same week — with a clear side-by-side comparison — helps students see them as one connected structure rather than two separate topics to memorize.
Use expressing purpose to strengthen the report writing
A good report often needs to explain the purpose behind a recommendation or finding. Teaching the Functions lesson before the Writing lesson gives students language they can carry directly into the report task.
Treat report writing as a distinct format
Unlike the letter-writing tasks in other units, a report uses headings, a more objective tone, and clear organization. A few minutes contrasting it with letter writing helps students avoid defaulting to a format they already know.
Past Perfect needs a clear timeline
When introducing Past Perfect Simple and Continuous, sketch a simple timeline on the board showing which action happened first — students grasp the sequencing far faster with a visual reference than from rules alone.

Yes — all six lesson plans (vocabulary, two grammar lessons, functions, reading, and writing) are free to download individually.
Both describe an action that happened before another past action, but Past Perfect Simple focuses on the completed action itself (“had studied”), while Past Perfect Continuous emphasizes the ongoing duration of that earlier action (“had been studying”) — a distinction that’s easier to grasp with a clear timeline.
Yes — they follow the Ticket to English 2 Unit 3 syllabus and the Moroccan Standards-Based Approach.
A report uses a more structured format, often with headings, and a more objective tone than a personal, formal, or application letter — giving students practice with a distinct writing register.
