Grammar Station
1 Read the sentences at the top of the Grammar Station section as a class Explain
to the students that the present continuous is used to talk about things that are
happening now Teach them that we use the verb be +verb-ing for the present
continuous Practice this by asking the students what they are doing right now Help them make correct sentences about what they are doing
2 Ask the students to look at the first chart and read the positive and negative sentences as a class Then look at the second chart as a class Explain that for most verbs we simply add -ing to the base verbs to make the present continuous
However, if a verb ends with an “e,” we drop the “e” first before adding -ing And if a verb ends in a vowel and a double consonant, we double the consonant and then add -ing Read through the examples for each of the situations as a class Then choose individual students to read the example sentences under the charts
3 Extra Idea (optional):
Play tic-tac-toe Draw a 3x3 grid on the board and write one of the base verbs from the Grammar Station section in each of the squares Split the students into two teams (team X and team O) Give a student from one team a foam ball and ask them to throw it at the grid If they hit one of the squares, tell them to erase the base verb and write the present continuous form in the square Then ask them to put their team’s symbol (X or O) in the corner of the square The first team to make a straight line with three of their symbols is the winner
