Teacher Guide

Review that the verb 'to be' matches the pronoun, e.g. 'I am'. Show that 'I am' can be contracted to 'I'm'. Review the verbs (they can refer to previous worksheets) and remind the students that the present continuous describes an action happening now and is formed by adding 'ing' to the base verb. Have them convert the sentences as shown in the example, and then write two sentences of their own.

Lesson Plan

:

13 - Year 4 Lesson plan

10mins: Introduction - Beginner questions 'What's your name, how old are you, where are you from, have you got any brothers or sisters? What's your favourite day of the week? What do you usually do on this day? What's one thing you like? One think you don't like? What's one thing you can do? One thing you can't do?

10mins: Review: Days of the week. Each student says one thing they do on each day of the week. (E.g. On Wednesday, I go to English.) Each student must ask another student "What do you do on __________?"

10mins: Review: 'Present continuous' - Line students up against the wall. Choose one student to go first. They will face the students so they can see what each student is doing. When the teacher says go, each student in the line will mime a different action. (e.g. brushing their teeth, playing guitar, riding a bicycle). The student whose turn it is will describe the actions of their classmates, using the present continuous.

15mins: Worksheet: 14 present continuous - finish for homework

10mins: Activity: Do an action for the class. The students must write a sentence saying what you're doing. (E.g. the teacher is singing). Then, ask a student to come to the front of the class and do a different action. The students must write a sentence about what their classmate is doing. Continue until every student has had a turn.

00mins: Homework: Students must write two sentences using the present continuous.
