Main Aims

To provide clarification of the present perfect in the context of chores

Subsidiary Aims

To provide accuracy speaking practice in a conversation in the context of chores

Procedure (25-35 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will start the class with the things and the chores I have done today so far and the things I haven't done. I will also ask the students to engage and tell me about their day as well.

Exposure (5-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

In this stage the students are going to listen to the story again and act it out in groups of three.

Highlighting (2-3 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

In this stage I will write examples of present perfect used in the story to get the students' attention to the TL.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

In this stage the tense will be clarified by asking some CCQ questions and showing it on a timeline: -Are these sentences about past, present or future? past. -Are they still true now?(Can we see the effect or result of this action now in the present time)? yes they are. Then with the help of the students we will write the structure of the present perfect tense. After all this I will explain to them what regular and irregular verbs are.

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

In this stage the students are going to do exercise 3 and we will check the answers all together. Then they will do exercise 4 and check the answers in pairs then we will check it all together.
