Past Simple (Have you ever?)Objectives: Stimulate the students to
improve their vocabulary, focusing on three out of four abilities
of communication: reading, listening and speaking. Create a
friendly atmosphere, so the students can feel free and confident to
join the conversation. Demonstrate that we can learn English from
different sources at any time. Clarify that the acquisition of a
new language can be enjoyable. ContentsWarm up: The class will
start with a conversation about fairy tales. Questions using
present perfect will be made in order to introduce them to the
students. This class is supposed to be given after a class of
present perfect, so the students will know how to make a sentence
without the ever. We are going to introduce the ever. (10
minutes)Exploring the grammar: This part is dedicated to
explanations about present perfect. It is important to observe that
we wont explain in a boring way. It will be very easy to understand
and full of examples. (15 minutes)Activities: As a first activity,
we will play a guessing game in which we will find out the names of
famous fairy tales in English. The students will be divided in two
groups to form teams. Each team will have one chance to guess and
if they get it right, they will have another turn. In this activity
we work the speaking ability. (10 minutes)The second activity will
explore the reading and listening ability. The students will be
organized in pairs, and each pair will have a fragment of a story,
but not with its name written. They will try to guess the story,
considering some key words that will be highlighted in the
fragment. Then each pair will read the story to the group, so they
can also guess the story. To conclude the activity and the class,
we will play a short story, told by a native speaker, so they can
practice the listening. We will say some key words before playing
the record to make it easier. (25 minutes)This class is based on
guessing game because we want to show the students that when they
already know something about the text they are supposed to read,
the reading process will be easier and they will also acquire
vocabulary faster. Strategies and Resources:Interactive
