📸 Caught in the Act: Present Continuous for Actions Happening Now
A2 Teens Lesson 02 teaches the Present Continuous through a photographer's journal of four weird public scenes observed across one day — a bus stop, a city park, a metro train, and a main square at sunset. Students start with a quick warm-up that activates observation skills, then study the tense through three clear formula blocks (positive, negative, question) and a side-by-side comparison card showing Present Simple vs Present Continuous. A dedicated -ing spelling rules table covers the four key patterns (add -ing, drop -e, double consonant, -ie to -ying) with signal words chipped visually.
Lesson Plan
- 4 visualization questions to activate observation and prior knowledge
- Pair-share or solo reflection format
