To clarify the present simple tense, i will show them in a power point slide pictures and they will guess what is happening in the picture. first pictures of kids going to school, ask them what do you think where are they going, is it a habit, so what do we say, the phrase will be shown on the board they usually go to school. Then a picture of a man with a headache, what do think how he feels,they answer then on the board he has a headache. then a picture of someone rejecting coffee, so we say she doesn't want coffee. then they will be exposed to the usage of the present simple. For clarifying the present continuous tense, the will be asked CCQs. I will be writing something in my note and then ask them what i'm doing now, they will say and then i write on the board "i'm writing a note". I will ask each one of them about what are they doing now, and take some answers and write one on the board. Then i will ask them if you want to say that you're visiting your friend next week what to say, "i'm going to visit my friend next week" or "i'm visiting my friend next week". then they'll be exposed to the usage of the present continuous tense. then they'll be given handouts from page 144 from the student book and read it with them.
