Lesson Outline

1. Warm-Up (5 minutes)

Begin the lesson by asking students about their experiences visiting DMV offices. Guide them to share any relevant experiences or challenges they faced. This will activate prior knowledge and engage the students right from the start.

2. Introduction to Present Continuous Tense (10 minutes)

Explain the structure and use of the present continuous tense. Highlight the following points:

• Form: Subject + am/is/are + verb+ing
• Use: To describe actions that are currently happening or ongoing actions.

Example Sentences:

• I am filling out the forms at the DMV.
• She is waiting in line to take a driving test.

3. Contextual Practice (10 minutes)

Introduce vocabulary related to the DMV environment and connect it with the present continuous tense.

• A: What are you doing at the DMV today?
• B: I am applying for my driver's license.
• A: How long are you waiting?
• B: I am waiting for about 30 minutes.

Provide students with additional examples and ask them to create their own sentences or dialogues using the present continuous tense. Encourage them to incorporate relevant vocabulary.

4. Pair Work (5 minutes)
