Comments: 
Very nice lesson plan. I liked the topic, the activities and the look and feel of the site. You followed the format of the LP.
I really liked the vocabulary part. I think you should have started with the vocabulary and not with the grammar section.
The grammar part does not seem to be related to the topic. It seems like a generic lesson on the simple past, and the exercises are not tailored-made for the lesson.  You could have taken advantage of the verbs used in the vocabulary presentation to contextualize the grammatical explanations and use tailor-made exercises. The material you have in the grammar section could be offered as supporting material. 
I would also have left the story retell (task 9) to be completed after task 11 (summary writing). I think they would be more prepared to paraphrase the story after all the other activities. 
There is no link from the bottom of the grammar page to the vocabulary page. 
You need to add it or just ask the students to use the top navigation bar. When I first read your LP, I was following the links at the bottom and I got confused.  

In general, this is a great LP :-)
