III. Teaching Procedures
Learning activities:
Step 1 Lead - in
Show a picture of students having a New Year's gala (as in the textbook).
T: Look at this picture. What are the students doing? Invite Ss to answer using “They are...”. Then say: Today, we will learn about the present continuous tense which is used to talk about things happening now.
Step 2 Presentation
Introduce the rule
T: Read the text about New Year celebrations at Kitty's school and pay attention to the expressions in bold. Then work out the rule: We use the present continuous tense to talk about things that are happening now.
Explain the formation of positive and negative sentences, and how to ask and answer questions using the present continuous tense with the help of the tables in the textbook.
Introduce the -ing form
Show the table about how to make the -ing form of a verb. Explain the rules with examples.
Step 3 Practice
Work on Activity A
T: Amy is showing Millie a video about how her family are celebrating New Year. Complete her sentences with the correct forms of the verbs in brackets.
Ask Ss to finish the task independently and then check the answers.
Work on Activity B
T: Amy and Sandy are talking on the phone. Complete their conversation. Use the present continuous tense of the verbs in brackets.
Ask Ss to finish the task in pairs and then check the answers.
Step 4 Production
Work on Activity C
T: Find some photos of New Year celebrations at your school or home. Write a short text about what people in the photos are doing, using the present continuous tense.
Ask Ss to show their photos and read their texts in front of the class.
IV. Assessment of Teaching Effectiveness
Assess Ss' mastery of the present continuous tense by observing their answers in Activities A and B.
Observe whether Ss can correctly use the present continuous tense to describe actions in Activity C, showing their ability to apply the tense.
Evaluate learning outcomes by:
Checking the accuracy of verb forms in Activities A and B.
Assessing the fluency and accuracy of texts in Activity C.
This lesson helps Ss master the present continuous tense, improving their ability to describe present actions. It also combines language learning with New Year celebration topics, enhancing learning interest.
V. Design Purpose
The lead - in activates Ss' prior knowledge and connects to the lesson topic.
Presentation clearly explains the rule and formation of the present continuous tense. Practice activities reinforce the usage of the tense.
Production activity allows Ss to apply the learned tense in real - life situations, improving their writing and speaking skills.
VI. Blackboard Design
Unit 8 Grammar “Present continuous tense”
Rule: Talk about things happening now.
Formation:
Positive: I am... / You/We/They are... / He/She/It is...
Negative: I am not... / You/We/They are not... / He/She/It is not...
Questions: Am I...? / Are you/we/they...? / Is he/she/it...?
-ing form rules: Most verbs + ing; Verbs ending in silent e - e + ing; Verbs ending in ie - ie + y + ing; Some verbs ending in vowel + consonant double the consonant + ing.
VII. Homework
Review the rules of the present continuous tense and the -ing form of verbs.
Write five sentences using the present continuous tense to describe what your family members are doing now.
VIII. Teaching Reflection
The activities effectively helped Ss learn the present continuous tense. Ss showed good understanding in practice tasks. However, some Ss might still have difficulty with the -ing form of some verbs. In the future, more practice on verb - ing formation can be provided.
