Procedure (26-47 minutes)
I will ask students if they have seen any good TV series on TV. I will share a padlet link so they can add their ideas to the padlet with pictures.
I will provide students with four dialogues about TV shows and ask them a gist question to answer: Do the people in the conversations enjoy watching television? Do people talk more about movies or TV? Fernando: Have you seen many shows on TV, José? José: Yes, I have seen many cooking shows on TV. Jessica: Has your brother gone to the movie theatre to see the new comedy? Elizabeth: No, he hasn’t, but he has just written a nice review about a show on Netflix. Daniel: Have you watched the new reality show on TV? Óscar: Yes, I have. It is very entertaining. Vanessa: Have you been to Universal Studios in Hollywood? José: Yes. I went there last summer.
I will highlight three areas where we use the present perfect: experiences/ to announce something you've done recently and to communicate a connection to the now. I will give them some example sentences and will elicit when they are being used.
I will go through the meaning, form, and pronunciation of the present perfect.
I will give them a cheat sheet from Google Docs to use to help them with the irregular verbs and participles. Then, I will have them complete the questions in Google Forms, filling in the gaps of some similar sentences. They will check their answers with a partner.
Students will ask each other conversation questions about the topic in BOR: Have you seen any good shows on TV recently? Have you ever seen a famous actor in public? What activities have you done many times this week? Have you ever been on television? What is an interesting food you have eaten while watching TV?
