For Since

This document provides teacher notes for an activity to practice the difference between using "for" and "since" with expressions of time. The activity involves students organizing expressions of time like "last week" and "1997" into groups of those used with "for" or "since". They then make true and false sentences about themselves using the expressions and take turns sharing their sentences with small groups to determine if they are true or false. The goal is to practice the different uses of "for" and "since".
