This lesson plan is for a 1st-2nd grade English class of 14 students at a primary school in Valcheta, Argentina. The lesson aims to teach students the present continuous tense through identifying verbs in an image and completing sentence corrections. Students will match picture prompts to example sentences on the board, then correct a short text using their new knowledge of present continuous structures. To conclude, students will write 5 sentences about what their family members are currently doing. The plan demonstrates good visual organization, coherence, inclusion of different activities and stages, and appropriate teaching strategies for the target language level.
