High School - 13 Present Perfect 4
Explain that we use the present perfect to describe an action that happened (or started) in the past and still has relevance now, in the present. The example on this worksheet tries to emphasise this connection between the past and the present. Go over several examples and help your students write out the structure. Tell them that we don't use specific time expressions (such as yesterday, last week, in 2023 etc.) with the present perfect tense as we don't know or we don't care when the action happened, only if it happened.
Each sentence on the worksheet gives some information about something that happened in the past. Help your students discuss and figure out what must have happened and then form a complete sentence describing it, using the present perfect tense. Check the answers together by reading them out loud.
Preposition 3 Flashcards
These adorable flashcards are great for lessons on prepositions of movement. Your students will love the pictures and have fun learning these simple, common prepositions. Use them in pre-teaching, reinforcement games, memory, as a reference guide for spelling exercises or even as a cute poster to display in class. Laminate them to be able to use them over and over.
Prepositions of Placement
Dive into our fun slideshow on Prepositions of Placement! It's packed with colourful examples that show how to use prepositions like 'in', 'on', 'between', and more. Each slide asks where things are placed, making it a playful way for kids and language beginners to learn about prepositions.
10mins: Introduction - Beginner questions: What's your name, age, and where are you from? Have you got any brothers or sisters? Ask questions to each student in a circle. When a student has answered the question, they must ask the next person in the circle the same question.
Choose a student to stand up, and ask the other students: What's his/her name? Where is he/she from? Where is he/she from? Repeat this process until every student has had a turn.
10mins: Review - I like/I don't like - Play 'On the line' - The teacher will indicate two lines on the floor, and have the students stand between them in a straight line. One line is 'left' and the other line is 'right'. Then, the teacher will say 'Go left if you like...' or 'go right if you like...' Students who like what the teacher has said will go to the correct line. The students who don't like what the teacher has said must stay in the middle of the two lines. After the students get the hang of the game, you can eliminate students who go the wrong direction.
10mins: Review: The preposition song - (if you're not sure how this goes, ask one of the other teachers!) After you've sung the song, review each hand gesture and ask students to say the preposition you are representing. Then, test their understanding of the written form by writing a preposition on the white board and having students use their own hand gestures to demonstrate it.
10mins: Game: 'Place the ball' Ask students to place the ball in a variety of locations in the classroom. Use many different colors and objects to make the tasks more difficult. E.g. Place the ball in front of something yellow, place the ball behind a boy, etc.
15mins: Worksheet: 25 prepositions
05mins: Warm Down: Goodbye + points
