Procedure (30-40 minutes)
T will tell a short story, related to traffic. At the end the T will start to elicit Sts to complete his story by using the present continues tense.
The T will briefly elicit Sts to use the progressive continues tense, by asking questions and having the Sts do a gap fill on the board. If Sts seem confused the T will beginning switch into guided discovery by writing present simple and try to get students to make present continues sentences with the same words.
Start with CCQs about the use of present progressive. Introduce more examples if Sts have difficulties, as well as comparisons with present simple. Use group work, and have Sts in groups try and decide when an event is taking place, as well as starts and stops. Sts can then practice with Grammar exercise 2 as part of pair work. If they still have difficulty the class will have to discuss this more after FB. During the exercise Sts will be called on to write their answers on the board. Sts will then conduct exercises 3 on page 85 alone, and exercise 4 in pairs. It is very important Sts understand not to show names from ex. 3 to their friends
T will demonstrate with a St on the board, by describing a picture and having the St draw it on the board. Afterwards T will explain Sts cannot look at the picture, then give it to one of them. While Sts play this game, T will pass out the other sheet and after 5 min. tell them to change roles.
