Teacher Guide
Help the students to read each notice and talk together about the meaning of it. What message is it tying to communicate? To whom? From whom? Explain that the options provided may seem correct but may have some detail incorrect. Have them underline any words that are unfamiliar to them, and help them to understand them with examples. Have them try to select the answer by themselves and then discuss together why the other options were not correct. It is a good idea to review phrasal verbs and modal verbs.
10mins - Conversation: What is art? Ask students to give examples. (painting, drawing, film, sculpture, literature.) What is your favourite form of art, and why? Why do you think art is important? Who is an artist you respect and admire?
10mins - Review: Present perfect. (Have/has + past participle) - Present perfect is used to describe:
- actions that happened in the past, but still have consequences now and in the future. E.g. 'I've seen that film.'
- an action that started in the past and is still continuing. E.g. 'I've lived in Spain for two years.'
We CAN'T use the present perfect to talk about a specific time in which something happened in the past.
E.g. 'I have gone to the cinema on Tuesday.'
10mins - Activity: Have each student create a timeline for a fictional character. They must identify major events in their characters life. Have the student write three sentences, using the present perfect, to describe the things the character has done. Have them write three sentences describing things the character hasn't done.
15mins - Worksheet: 03 Present Perfect
15mins - Test: Worksheet: 03 Reading Practice - part 1
05mins - Warm down: Discuss any material the student had difficulties with. Goodbye, see you next time!
00mins - Homework: Have the student create a timeline of their own life. Tell them to mark the years of important events or memories. Ask the student to write 2-3 sentences in the present perfect describing an action from their past that still has relevance in the present.
