Teaching Practice 7 - 31 March 2023
Elementary level

Description

In this lesson, students learn about the meaning, form and use of the simple present perfect in conjunction with a few basic signal words (just, never, already, recently)

Materials

Main Aims

  • To provide clarification and practice of present perfect simple in the context of travel

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide fluency speaking practice in a conversation in the context of personal experiences

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Lead-in on Google Form: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXprnT_CDUuGsOQZ56oCtjDpzf2SxsDbOlz7V-fsb2s/edit Ask ss to look at pictures and guess the topic of the day - travel. Go over images quickly and focus on "bucket list" - pre teach this term as it will occur in the reading and they may not be familiar with it. Ss may want to share something about their personal preferences or experience in travelling, allow a couple of minutes for that.

Exposure (5-7 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Ask ss to read the text on the google form and answer the gist task: https://forms.gle/BKEZnNMmRYfxbGFBA Check in plenary - see if there is any new vocab that may need clarification Use google form response tool to go over answers with students, make sure they understand the difference between 'I have visted' and "I have planned a trip to" (one has happened, one hasn't)

Clarification (MFP) (10-15 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Back to Google doc - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXprnT_CDUuGsOQZ56oCtjDpzf2SxsDbOlz7V-fsb2s/edit Use blank page as a whiteboard to go over FMP Start with sample sentence taken from text: "“in my life I have explored many different parts of the world” And elicit: 1. meaning (unspecified time in the past) 1.1 IF they seem to be following ok, introduce signal words - just/never/already/recently 2. form (have/has +pp) - go over affirmative/negative/interrogative 3. pron (focus on contracted form 've / 's + connected speech) CCQs - provide an example and ask ss if it is correct or not - if not, ask to correct

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Wordwall for controlled practice (fill in the gaps/choose correct option): https://wordwall.net/resource/54693089/present-perfect-practice Ideally, have ss do this in pairs in BORs so they can check answers together after the activity, however depending on tech issues you may decide to let them do it individually and then do a plenary check. Note mistakes for DEC later

Freer Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

Wordwall activity for freer practice: discussion questions promting students to share a story about their personal experiences. Do this in BORs and monitor to amke sure everyone is on task and check for tech issues. https://wordwall.net/resource/54689610/present-perfect-free-practice

DEC (3-5 minutes) • Delayed error correction

use notes you have been making during freer practice to conduct DEC
