Procedure (114-120 minutes)
The teacher explains that the group will count from 1 to 10 together. After one complete round, one student chooses one number and replaces it with a word, sound, or action. The group counts again, but when they reach that number, they must perform the replacement instead of saying the number. Then another student chooses a different number and replaces it with another word, sound, or action. The process continues, and students must remember all previous replacements while counting. The activity continues until all numbers from 1 to 10 have been replaced. The teacher monitors participation, helps students keep the sequence, and keeps the activity light and energetic.
The teacher asks students to recall which grammar topics they reviewed during the previous week. As students mention each topic, the teacher writes it on the board. The teacher then guides the group topic by topic, asking students how each structure is used, how it is formed, and when it is appropriate. Students answer collaboratively and provide examples. The teacher clarifies doubts, reformulates inaccurate explanations, and adds extra examples when needed. The review should include present perfect, present perfect continuous, and past simple. The teacher encourages students to build examples together and compare correct and incorrect forms when useful.
Students complete the weekly test individually. The teacher monitors quietly, answers only procedural questions. The teacher gives a short time warning before the end of the test. At the end, the teacher collects the tests.
