-T will use two marker sentences to clarify the meaning/form and pronunciation of two question sentences. T will elicit the form from the SS. 1. Are they having good time? 2. Where are they staying? -Form: (?) am/is/are(verb of BE)+ subj+ V-ing (W/H) + verb of BE+ Subj+ V-ing -CCQS: " Do they have a good time?"

language practice To provide semi controlled activity to focus on the fluency of the target language - T will give picture and give a set of questions(HO) to SS to ask each other questions about the picture with each other for 4 min." ICQs," Will you talk about yourself or the picture. (picture) “Will you talk about one question or 4 Qs?"(4QS) “Will you talk alone or with everyone?"(partner) “How much time?"(4 min) -T will monitor. - WCFB *Incase we have free time:(The teacher then provides the learners with a fun activity in which she uses an entertaining miming game to teach or review the 'Present Continuous Tense'. She takes a card and mimes the action in front of the class (without speaking). The first student to say her action a full sentence (e.g. “You are eating chicken!”) is the winner. The teacher breaks them up into two separate groups. Teams take turns playing. A student comes up and asks the class 'What am I doing?' The student then does the mime on the card. When a member on either team thinks they know, they respond 'You are verb+ing…' The students must guess the exact words on the mime card to win. The first team to guess the sentence wins a point.)
-T will monitor and write the errors on the board. -elicit the correct answer from the SS otherwise do it herself.
