Welcome to today's English lesson! We're diving into an essential aspect of the English language: the simple present tense. To kick things off, let's set the stage with a creative activity that will spark your curiosity and engage your minds.
To help you understand the use of the simple present tense while encouraging teamwork and critical thinking.
Form Teams: Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students.
Character Creation: Each group will invent a unique character. Think of someone interesting! This could be a superhero, a musician, a historical figure, or even a fictional character from your favorite book or movie.
Write Descriptions: Using the simple present tense, write five to six sentences that describe your character. For example:
Present Your Character: After 10 minutes of discussion and writing, each group will present their character to the class using the sentences you’ve crafted. Be sure to use clear and confident pronunciation!
Guess Who: After each presentation, the class can guess who the character is. This will allow everyone to actively participate and think critically about the descriptions provided.
The simple present tense is all about habits, routines, and facts. By using it to describe characters, we can create a vivid image in our minds of people and their actions.
For homework, I want you to write a short paragraph about a typical day in your life using the simple present tense. Aim for at least 8-10 sentences.
Feel free to bring your creativity and imagination to class, and let's have some fun with the simple present tense!
