Ask the Ss to match the sentences with Present Perfect simple or continuous label cards. Monitor and provide feedback.

Grab the class' attention. What changes have taken place in your lifetime? ask the Ss to elicit some ideas. In 2 groups of A & B, try to discuss the questions on the cards. ICQs.

If time, regroup SS to tell each other about what they talked about. One from A, one from B. If time is short, get a representative from each group to tell the class what they talked about. If time is too short, get each representative to tell just one question from their group.

Put some of their mistakes on the board and elicit the correct forms. Tell SS the class is done.
