My controlled practice includes two stages, one (if time allows) will be shown on the WB, together with the teacher the students will fill in the blanks. If we run out of time, then the Students will be give a HO with an exercise, they will have to change the verbs from Pr.Perf.Continuous to Present Perfect Simple.

Freer practice (4-8 minutes) • To have students use the new tenses, as well as sharing their thoughts and ideas.

The teacher will set up a situation. Lets imagine you went to cafe with your friends. Later you noticed that your friend looked sad/tired/happy etc, normally friends are interested in each other's problems, so you would definitely needed to ask what the problem was with your friend. As an example the teacher will ask 4 volunteers from the clas, we will play friends in cafe, the teacher will look sad, and one of the student will ask what the matter is. The teacher will reply by using Present Perfect Cont. Other ideas of replies will be provided on the board. Each volunteer out of those 4 will get a card with an emotion: (ex. Look sad/Look happy), the students will be devided into 4-5 groups, each volunteer will go to each group. The students will be asked to play the dialogues.
