Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Highlighting (1-2 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

Clarification (8-9 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

Write on the board: They've been friends since 1907. S + have + V3 (irregular verb) They met for the first time in 1906. S + V3 (irregular verb) I've seen all the 007 movies.

If the answer is yes, Ss should write it down and report back to class. E.g. Ata broke a leg in 2014. Selma have been in Turkey for 50 years. Practicing asking questions and giving answers.

Freer / Semi controled (8-10 minutes) • Students speak to each other but try to use the target language.
