Procedure (20-30 minutes)
I will handout one flashcard to each ST with a picture of a place and its name. I'll ask them to hold up their cards and answer my question: Have you ever been to this place? At first I'll start with obvious and positive answers and then I'll move on to the negative ones. I will use the new form by telling the students: so you've never been to this place or, Me too, I've never been there either. After that I will swap the flashcards until most STs have the card of a place that they have never been to.
I'll play and sing the song one time. For the second time I will ask them to repeat after me. i will write down some of the sentences from the song on the board and ask them If they've done the same thing as the song.
I will use the written lyrics to explain the form. I will use miming and gestures to teach the meaning as well. At the end I'll explain the meaning of the new words and also, write down other verbs from the book to provide the STs with more choices in developing new sentences
I will ask the STs to get divided into groups of 2 and discuss each of their experiences using present perfect. After 3 minutes, I will ask them to repeat the sentences they've created before.
After hearing each sentence I will appreciate their efforts and may continue with asking a question based on their answer. If there is any mistake in the produced sentences, I'll correct it.
