Procedures

(3 minutes)
I will greet students and ask them how they are. Then, I´ll call the roll, ask them what date
it is and write it on the board.
(5 minutes)
I will start the lesson by showing them a picture of a party and I will ask them the following
questions:
- What can you see in this picture? (Expected answers: people having fun, balloons, a
cake, drinks, friends, family)
- What are they celebrating? (Expected answers: a birthday)
Transition comment: “What a good pair of eyes you have! Great descriptions! Now it is time to
think about details”
(7 minutes)
I will stick on the board some flashcards with different phrases that people usually do in a party
and they will have to classify each action in the following chart:
A week before the
party
One day before the
party
In the morning, before
the party
A few minutes before
the party
Transition: “Great work! It requires a lot of work to plan a party. But now, let me ask you
something, have you ever planned a party for a friend or family?
Activity 1 (15 min)
Pre-listening
I will give students a worksheet (number 1) and tell them that they will listen to a conversation
about a birthday party. But first they will have to predict the following topics:
- How many people are going to talk?
- Whose birthday is it?
The second activity from the worksheet will be about selecting what actions they think were
done before the party:
- Blow up the balloons
- Buy a present
- Buy food and drinks
- Clean the house
- Invite the guests
- Make a cake

- Move the furniture
- Prepare food and drinks
- Put on some music
I will ask some of them about their answers.
While reading
Once they finish their guesses, I will play the conversation and while they listen to it, they will
have to check whether their answers were correct or not.
Transition comment: “Is there something you thought they did but they actually didn´t?”
After listening
I will ask students the following questions:
- Did they have any problem?
- If so, how did they solve it?
Transition comment: “You are doing it wonderfully! Now, it´s time to move on”
Activity 2 (20min)
I will give students another worksheet (number 2) in which they will have to complete some
sentences with a missing word:
1. She´s been at college _____ this morning
2. I´ve ______ organised a party before
3. I _____ her a really nice scarf in the sales after Christmas
4. She´s wanted the scarf _____ ages!
5. I invited them two weeks _____
6. We´ve _____ bought the food and drinks
7. Right, but we _____ prepared them ____
8. _____ you made Emma´s favourite chocolate cake ____?
9. Have you ____ made that kind of cake?
10. I´ve _____ cleaned the house and moved the furniture
After completing the sentences, I will play the recording so that they can check their answers.
Then I will ask them to classify the sentences in the following chart (orally):
Past Simple Present Perfect
“Well done! I can tell that you know we use present perfect for actions that started in the past
and continue in the present and also to talk about experiences but, what about sentence
number 10?”
I will give them an explanation about Present perfect used for express recent actions (canva
presentation).
Transition comment: “Is it clear? Don’t worry because we are going to practice it”
Activity 3 (10min)

In order to practice the use of present perfect for recent actions, I will divide students in two
teams and they will play “do it mimic.” One student from the first group will choose randomly a
flashcard from the set of flashcards that I will provide him/ her and then, he/ she will have to
represent what the sentence says without talking. If his/ her team guess, they will win a point.
Then, it is the turn of the other team to do it.
Example of sentences:
- I haven´t bought the present yet.
- I´ve already make the cake.
Transition comment: “You are so creative! Did you have fun? Me too, now, let´s continue
working!”
Activity 4 (20min)
They will be working with the same teams and I will give them some instructions:
- Think about whose birthday from the opposite team is approaching and plan a surprise
party for him/ her
- Choose one of you to be the main organizer
- Make a list about what things you should do before the party
- The main organizer will designate each one duty
- Once you finish, check if everything was done
In order to check actions, students will have to use the following structure:
“Invite the guests/ have you already invited the guests? / Yes, we already invite them/ No, we
haven´t invited them yet.”
After that, each team will have to create a dialogue about the surprise party, in which all of them
will play their part. They will have to use present perfect and past simple tenses.
(10min)
Each group will have to perform their dialogues in front of the entire class.
“Hope you have enjoyed the lesson as much as I did”

Procedures
(3minutes)
I will greet students and ask them how they are. Then, I´ll call the roll, ask them what date
it is and write it on the board.
(7minutes)
I will start the lesson by telling them “Do you remember that last lesson we talked about birthday
parties and you also planned two surprised parties for your classmates _____ and _____. But
what about the rest of you? When is your birthday?” (Wait for their answers)
“Great! Mine is in summer, so I have to wait till then. I´m turning 29 and from my point of view,
I´ve done lots of things. What about you? Have you ever thought about your past? And what
about your future? (Wait for their answers)”
“Ok, you are really young and you have a whole life ahead of you. Now tell me, what do you
think about famous people´s life? Do you think they are lucky? Do you know any famous people
whose parents are or were famous? (Brainstorm their ideas, eg, Julio and Enrique Iglesias).”
“Brilliant! Now, coming back to life experiences…”

(10min)
“Now coming back to life experiences, I want you to number the events in what you think is a
logical order” I will project on the board a list of phrases and I will give them 5 minutes to work
on that in pairs. Then I will ask each group to talk about how they ordered the events, “do you
agree with your partner?”
Events:
 Be born
 Get married/ marry somebody
 Go to primary school
 Have children
 Go to secondary school
 Go to university
 Leave school
 Separate
 Get a job
 Get divorce/ divorce somebody
 Retire
 Fall in love
 Die
Transition comment: “Ok, great job! We all have quite similar ideas. Let´s move on now!”
Activity 1 (20minutes)
Pre- reading
I will project on the board a picture of two famous actresses and I will ask them “do you know
any of them? Have you seen any of their movies? Which one/s? Did you like it? (Wait for their
answers).

“These are Jamie Lee Curtis, who is holding a picture of her mother, Janet Leigh is in the famous
shower scene of the film Psycho. Did you know that they are mother and daughter? Yes, they are
quite similar, I know! Now, look at that heading, what do you think it means?” (Wait for their
answers. Expected answer: it means that the daughter does, the same as her mother did)
“Exactly, Jamie Lee is an actress as her mother was”
While reading
Students will have to read from their books ten paragraphs and decide which ones refer to
Jamie Lee Curtis and which ones to Janet Leigh. They have to work individually.
After reading
We will check all together the previous activity and then, I will extract some sentences from the
text and project them on the board. Again, learners will have to decide which sentences refers
to Jamie Lee, and which ones to Janet Leigh.
1. She was in more than 50 films
2. She´s been in many different kinds of films
3. She was married four times
4. She´s been married for more than 20 years
5. She´s written several best-selling children´s books
6. She wrote four books
“Why the tenses are different in these sentences? What tenses have been used? Why?”
Expected answers: The ones of Janet Leigh are in the past simple because she is dead. The
ones about Jamie Lee are in the present perfect because she is still alive and the situations are
true about her life up to now.
Transitional comment: “You are just right! Great work guys!”

Scaffolding strategy: Highlight the “has” and “was” for them to notice the difference. Provide
them an explanation about the difference between past simple and present perfect once they
finish their guesses (canva presentation)

Activity 2 (15min)
Pre-listening
“Do you know who they are? Do you know anything about them?” (wait for their answers)
While they try to figure it out, I will play on this song and ask them if they know it:
https://youtu.be/HivQqTtiHVw
I will let them guess (brainstorm their ideas on the board) and won´t say whether they are right
or not.
While listening
Students will listen to a radio programme about the son and they have to check their answers
from the previous activity and then reply the following ones:
 What´s the son´s real name?
 What´s his father´s name?
 How well did he and his father get on?
Scaffolding strategy: I will pause the recording as necessary so that students can take notes.
After listening
I will play the recording again for them to find the connection between the son and the following
sentences (they can find the sentences in their books):
1. Zowie Bowie
His name when he was very young.
2. UK, 1971
3. Angie
4. The drums, the saxophone and the piano
5. An 8mm video camera
6. The London film school

7. Commercial for French connection and Heintz Ketchup
8. Moon
9. Source code and Warcraft
10. Paparazzi
Radio
Programme.mp3
Scaffolding strategy: I will pause the recording as necessary so that students can take notes.
They will have to discuss their answers with a partner first and then, we will check replies
altogether. After that, I will ask them:
 Do you think Jamie Lee Curtis and Duncan Jones have been successful because their
parents were famous?
 Do you think that is common for children to want to do the same job as their parents or
to do something different?
Let them discuss and listen to two or three of them.
Transition comment: Well done! Way to go!”
Activity 3
Speaking (20min)
I will ask them to think about an older person who is alive. It could be a member of their families,
a friend or someone famous but they have to know a lot about this person. By working in pairs,
they will have to ask to their classmates a set of questions and they will also will have to answer
the same questions, since the idea is that they can get familiar with the person their classmates
have chosen.
Questions:
They can start by saying “I´m going to talk about my grandfather”
Scaffolding strategy: Monitor students while they work in pairs, and help them if they need it.
Ask them to give all the extra information they know about the person.
Then, each of the pairs will have to talk about the person his/her classmate has chosen.
Scaffolding strategy: I will demonstrate it myself by talking about my grandmother.
I will give them homework for next lesson, they will have to write a biography od someone who
is still alive (it could be the same person that they have chosen in this activity).
Transition comment: “You all have chosen different people. Thanks for sharing. You were great!
Now, for next week and this is going to be your homework, you have to write a biography about
the same person you were talking about during this activity or someone else.”
(15min)

I will ask them to think about their own lives and predict what the future hold for them. They will
have to think about how do they think they will do in next week´s exam, and they will also have
to think about when they are 40 years old. Students will work individually by using first and
second conditional. They will have to write at least 6 sentences each one
Scaffolding strategy: I will provide them this example “If I won the lottery, I would buy a big
house”
After that, I will listen to two sentences of each of them.
Final comment: “You worked really hard today! And I think you are ready for your next´s week
exam”

I will greet students and ask them how they are. Then, I´ll call the roll, ask them what date it is
and write it on the board.

(5min)
“Last lesson we talked a little bit about famous people, do you remember the name of the
actresses? (Wait for answer) Yes, very good! So now I want you think about this:”
I start with some questions for reflection (canva presentation):
- What would you do if you were rich?
- How much money do you think we need to be considered wealthy?
- What do you think is like to be really rich?
- What would you do if someone suddenly give you a million?
(7min)
I will project a video on the board and while they listen to it, they will have to cross out a few
options from a worksheet that I will give them. They have to work individually:
What would they do if they had a lot of money?
 Child N°1:
- Ice cream and chocolates
- A lot of toys
- Cabbages, lettuce and carrots
 Child N°2:
- Buy a big airplane toy
- Buy a big platinum ball
- Wait till have a million pounds
 Child N°3
- Buy a teddy bear
- Give it to his parents
- Buy a water pistol
 Child N°4: How much money do you think you need to be rich?
- 40
- 14
- 400
 Child N°5: what do you think is like to be really rich?
- Amazing, because you can get anything you want
- Horrid, because you became a lazy person
- Nice, but boring
 Child N°6:
- She says she´s already rich and she only needs a big carpet for her stairs
- She says she has a submarine
- She says she would lend the interviewer some money
After watching the video, we will check the answers all together.
Transition comment: “Aren´t they cute? As you could see, they use some structures to talk
about conditions or situations that might happen (in the present or future) or might have
happened but didn´t (in the past). So, how do we call these structures formed by a condition
and a result?” (Expected answer: conditionals) “yes, you are right! Lets´s revise them!”
Activity 1 (15min)
After that I will explain them the differences between (canva presentation) first and second
conditional (this is a review since they´ve already learnt this).

Then, I will give them another worksheet in which they will have to complete some activities:

Activity 2 (20min)
I will divide students in two teams and I will stick on the board 6 flashcards to play tick tac toe.
One student from each team will have to come to the board. I will give to one of them a cross,
and the other one will receive a circle. They will roll a dice and the one who gets the highest
number, will start. Then is the turn for another pair.

Transition comment: “Great job! Did you have fun? Lovely, let´s continue now.”
Activity 3 (5 min)
Before starting with this activity, we´ll revise the differences between present perfect and past
simple (canva presentation).
They will work individually with the same worksheet. Students will have to complete a biography
with the proper tenses of the verbs. Then we will correct the answers orally:
Transition comment: “Well done, let´s move on!”
I will stick on the board some flaschcards about a conversation and they will have to order them.
I will choose some of them to put the flashcards in the correct order on the board:

I will give each of them another worksheet to work individually. Then, we will correct all the
activities orally:

Transition comment: you have worked very hard today! You deserve to game!
(10minutes)
I will divide students in three teams and they will play a domino in order to practice the
differences between present perfect and past simple. The three of them are different.

Students had some homework to do, so I will start by checking the activities they should have
done “I assume you finished your homework from the worksheet, right? (Expected answer: Yes!
Of course) Great, let´s check it!”
These are the activities they didn´t finish last lesson:

Scaffolding strategy: Each of them will answer, I will start with the first line, then the second and
third one. I will stop after each of students´ replies in order to reinforce their understanding
about the difference between both tenses and to clarify doubts.

games)

- Do you watch it?
- Which Olympic sport do you think is the most popular?
I will show students pictures of people doing sports and I will encourage them to mention the
sports. “Now, take a look to these pictures. Can you name all the sports that you, see?”
- Which of these sports do you like most? Which one do you like least? Why?

Play (sports with a ball) Go (+verb + -ing) Do
Transition comment: “Great work! Now, let´s move on”
Activity 1 (30 min)
Pre- reading activity:
I will ask them if they know any famous runner, what is her/ his name, where is she/he from.
While reading activity:
I will project the following story on the board and students will have to identify all the
prepositions from the text (they will have to write them down. They will work individually)
A typical training day for an Olympic athlete
As a professional triathlete, I train anywhere from 20-30 hours a week. In addition to the physical
training, a huge part of my training includes my nutrition, recovery and massages. I do all of these
things to make sure my body is at its' best every day!
My workouts vary a lot and look different each day, but here are some examples of what a training
day might be: I always take my dog Ralph with and the first thing we do is go down the steps of
my apartment; we cross the road and run over the bridge; we stop at the shop and get into it to
buy some stuffs. After going out of it, we keep on running but this time, under the bridge. We go
past the church and go through the tunnel. After that, we run through the lake and then, we get a
Little bit tired so, we start walking around it. We keep on walking along the Street for a couple
blocks till we get home and we go up the steps of our home.

As you can imagine, I need a lot of good-quality, nutrient dense food to keep me fueled throughout
my training. Before my morning workouts, I’ll usually have a piece of toast with Wild Friends
Almond Butter, half a banana and honey.
If you've ever thought about trying out the sport of triathlon, I highly recommend it! There are
triathlons that happen all over the country that you can train and compete it. If you don't want to
go it alone, maybe recruit a friend or family member to join you.
After Reading activity:
Students will work in pairs. I will provide them some pictures about the story and they will have
to order them according to text.
Scaffolding strategy: In case they need it, I will also provide them a sentence example with a
preposition in it. I will walk around the classroom while they do the after reading activity. We will
check the activity all together since I will project the same pictures on the board.
I will explain the difference between “across and through” and “away and back” by using the
explanation from the student book:

Transition comment: “You are doing it great!”
Activity 2 (10 min)
Students will work individually. They have to copy and solve the following activity:
Look at the sports pictures (warm up) and complete the sentences with a verb from the box and
the correct preposition.
Scaffolding strategy: I will provide them the verbs and prepositions they will have to use. Once
we check the answers, they will learn the ones they didn´t know their meaning.
Transition comment: “good job! Now, as you know in our country, football is the most popular
sport…”
Activity 3 (20 min)
Throwing- running- skiing- cycling- hitting- throwing

Pre-listening:
- As you know, in our country, football is the most popular sport. But, do you like it?
- Which is your favourite team?
- And what about your favourite football player?
While listening:
Students will work individually. I will ask learners to imagine a football match and how it is told.
After that, I will project the following picture following picture and they will have to complete the
text while listening to a commentary.
He goes____ one defender, and another.
The goalkeeper ´s coming _____ him.
Matthews shoots. And the ball goes ____
the goalkeeper _____ the goal!
After listening
We will check answers altogether. Then, they will have to complete the sentences with a verb
from the box:
Scaffolding strategy: I will explain the words that they don’t know. After checking the answers, I
will explain them the difference between “come or go,” “in or into” and “out or out of” by using
the explanation from the student´s book. Next, students will have to solve the activities:

Transition comment: You will have to solve activities from page 145 for the next class.
Game: (10 min)
I will ask one by one to come to board. He/she will have to think of a sport he/ she knows well
and the, he/ she will have to tell me which one it is (the rest of the classmates can not listen to
him/ her). Once the sport is chosen, the others have to guess it by asking a maximum of ten
yes/ no questions. I will give them a set of questions they can ask:
- Is it a team sport?
- Do you play it inside?
- Do you have to throw the ball? etc
Then, it´s the turn of someone else but they cannot repeat the same sport.
Transition comment: Great questions! Ok, don’t forget to do your homework. Have a great
weekend and see you on Tuesday 😊

(10min)
Memory game: I will project on the board a jamboard with hidden pictures about sports and
hidden phrases about those sports. By taking turns and remaining on their chairs, students will
have to pick two numbers in order to find the pair.
Transition comment: Great job! Ok, do you remember that last lesson we listen to a commentary
related with a football match? So, today we are going to listen to one and you have to guess
what it is about.
Activity 1 (15min)
Pre listening:
- What verb do you have to use for sports that require a ball?
- What is the difference between throw, kick and hit? Pay attention to these pictures (I will
project them on the same jamboard)
Scaffolding strategy: I will label the pictures but I will wait till their answers and then reveal the
labels.
While listening:
I will ask them to pay attention to the verbs they listen to in order to identify what the sport is.

After listening:
I will show them the video so that they can check the sport and then I will provide them the
transcript but they will have to order it (students will work individually):
 Order the transcript:
_It comes to Mike Catt, he kicks it high into the stand.
_He drops for World Cup glory.
_It is all over, and England are the 2003 World Champions.
_It’s up, it’s over, he’s done it.
_ The whistle goes.
_Johnny Wilkinson is England’s hero yet again, and there’s not time for Australia to come back.
_England have just won the World Cup.
_There’s 35 second to go, this is the one. It’s coming back for Johnny Wilkinson
Once they finish, I will play the video once again so that they can check their answers.
Transition comment: Ok, well done. Now, let´s talk a little bit about who sports and gender.
Activiy 2 (25min)
Pre reading:
I will ask them the following questions:
- Do you think that there are some sports just for men and other just for women?
- Can you provide some examples for each gender?
- Which one do you prefer to watch?
While reading:
Students will have to read from their student book some comments people posted on a forum
and while they do so, they will have to guess the meaning of the highlight words and also, they
will have to tick the comments they agree with:

After reading:
I will ask them “do you agree with any of these comments? Do you completely disagree with
any of these comments?” They will have to answer with yes or no. After that, I will ask them to
take a piece of paper and write their own comment about men and women´s sport but without
writing down their names. They will have to do it by taking into account any sport seen and by
giving a short description about it but without mention what sport it is. Once they finish, they will
have to fold the sheets of paper in half and then give them to me. I will put them all inside a bag
and then read them aloud in front of the whole class. They will have to guess the sport and then
express their opinion about each of the comments.
Scaffolding strategy: I will provide them an example and also project on the board some verbs
and prepositions they can use to describe the activity/ sport. I will walk along the classroom
while they write their opinions in case they need help and to check mistakes.
Example:

I´m not a fun of watching sports but I find women and men sports equally entertaining. However,
I think this sport is funnier if it is performance by women since they seem lighter when they run
towards the bar and they jump over it.
Transition comment: Great job! I enjoyed listening to all of you. Now, what do you think a sport
person´s life is like?
Activity 3 (20min)
I will ask them the following questions:
- What do you think a sport person´s life is like?
- Do you think they wake up very early in the morning?
- Do you think they are the earliest birds people in the world?
- Can you think of any other job that requires to get up early in the morning?
Scaffolding strategy: I will explain them the meaning of early bird (a person who gets up very
early in the morning) and then, I will write on the board the phrase “The early bird catches the
worm.” I wil explain them that it means that it is a good thing to get up early and after that, I will
ask them if they know any equivalent phrase in Spanish.
Students will read take a look to the following pictures and then answer “what time do you think
they get up?”
The, they will have to work in pairs, one of them will read about Ella and the other one about
Peter. They will have to answer the questions about the person they are reading about and then
use their notes to tell his/ her partner about Ella´s or Peter´s day.

Scaffolding strategy: I will explain ask them to highlight the phrases they are not familiar with
and ask them to guess meaning from context. I will explain the ones that are not clear.
(5min)
I will project on the board the question: What sport do you think the person is talking about?

I will start with a revision of what they read and discussed last lesson: Ella´s and Peter´s day. I
will project on the board a picture of both and some phrases related with their routines. Students
will have to identify which ones correspond to Ella´s day and which ones to Peter´s. It is an oral
activity therefore; they will have to raise their hands in order to talk and provide the answers so
that I can place the phrase under the right person´s picture.

Transition comment: “Great work! Now, let me ask you something, would you like to work the
hours that Ella or Peter work? (wait for answers) All right, now, let´s come to back to some
actions that they do in their daily lives.”
(10 min)
I will project on the board some sentences from Ellan and Peter´s texts and then I will ask them
to explain the meaning of the highlight verbs. They are going to work in pairs in order to discuss
their ideas and then as a whole group, we will find out the answers.
Scaffolding strategy: I will let them re-read the texts so that they can guess meaning from
context.
After that, I will project on the board an explanation about Phrasal verbs.
Transition comment: “Is it clearer now? Don’t worry, we are going to practice them”
Activity 1 (20 min)
Pre-watching
I will project on the board the following pictures and I will ask students to describe what they
observe in each of them. They have to use the verbs that they already know. Students will work
in pairs.

While watching
I will ask them to go to page 163 from their student´s book and they will have to look at the
same pictures and match them with the phrases that describe them. They will work in pairs.
We will check their answers by listening to an audio.

EF4e_PreintSB_10.5.

After watching
I will give each of them a worksheet. They will have to match the phrasal verbs with their
meanings by working individually.
Scaffolding strategy: I will walk through the classroom so that they can ask me questions and
check the ones that finish first.
Once they finish, we will check the activity altogether.
Transition comment: “Well done! As you can see some of the phrasal verbs are in red, some
others in green and the rest in blue. Why do you think so?”
Activity 2 (20 min)
I will explain them that there are three types of phrasal verbs. “As you can see some of the
phrasal verbs are in red, some others in green and the rest in blue. Why do you think so? Pay
attention to these examples”
I will write on the board some examples:
- I put on my shoes. - I put my shoes on.
- I get up at 6am. - I get at 6am up.
“Are these sentences correct? (Wait for their answers) You are right! Not all of them are ok. As
you can see, some phrasal verbs can be separated and some others don’t. Go to page 163”

(Students have the explanation in their books but I will also project my own explanation on the
board).
Scaffolding strategy: I will explain them that some phrasal verbs have an object and if it is a
pronoun, it will always go between the verb and the particle. Eg, Put it on NOT Put on it.
After the explanation, they will have to solve the following activity which can be found in their
student´s book (page 144). They will work individually:
We will check the answers orally.

it is a good idea? Are you a morning person? (wait for their answers)”
Activity 3 (15 min)
Students will work again in pairs. I will leave on the table a set of flashcards with a phrasal verb
in each of them. They will be upside down. Each pair will take three flashcards and they will
have to write a short story or a conversation between a early bird and a night owl by
incorporating the phrasal verbs into it (at least 4 lines each character).
Once they finish, each pair group will read perform the conversations in front of the class or

I will start the lesson by revising and consolidating the vocabulary and structures learnt in the
previous lesson. I will invite students to play a fun game in order to review the phrasal verbs. I
will randomly give them a piece of puzzles to each of them in which they will find a word written
on it: a particle (preposition or adverb) or a verb. They will have to stand up and look for the
missing piece of the puzzle that one of their classmates will have. Once they find their puzzle´s
partner, each couple will have to sit and think about an example in which they include the
phrasal verb. They will have to share the examples aloud. Once they all finish, I will repeat the
game in order to practice more phrasal verbs.

Scaffolding strategies: Before starting with the game, I will ask them “how many types of phrasal
verbs there are?” The expected answer is three (type 1: with no object; type 2: with an object
that can be separated or not; type 3: with and object that can never be separated). I will write on
the board a mind map with all the information they remember and I will also add the data they
might forget.
Transition comment: “Excellent job!
(15 min)
I will give each of the students, a worksheet in which they will find some underlined phrases that
they will have to replace with a phrasal verb (Students will work individually and then we will
check the answers altogether orally).
After that, I will tell them to pay attention to the highlighted phrase, “what does this phrase
mean?” (Expected answer: Tim´s secretary fill in or writes some of the forms). I will write on the
board the following sentences for them to see the difference:
- Some other forms are written by his secretary
- His secretary writes some other forms.
“Do they mean the same?” “Which one is the subject in the first sentence? What about in the
second one? What about the verb? Is it the same in both sentences?” Students will see how
different but also similar the sentences are.
Worksheet
Tim Powell isn’t a morning person. Which is surprising because on weekdays, he stops sleeping
and gets out of bed very early. While most of us are still asleep, Powell stops sleeping at five
forty-five, does exercise for thirty minutes in his home gym, and has a big breakfast. Then he
gets ready for work, he wears his favourite jacket and drives to the office. When he gets to the
building where he works, he removes his jacket and then he goes for a walk around a local
park. After that he goes inside to start work at nine o’clock. He thinks with pleasure about the
time he will be home. On Thursdays, his alarm stops working even earlier, at five twenty a.m., to
study German. Powell is a lawyer that is why most of the time, he writes or type information on
documents, although some other forms are written by his secretary. Once in a blue moon, he
has to discover who is the guilty of a crime.

He works seventy hours a week, and he says that stop sleeping and getting out of bed early
helps him to do more during the day. He isn’t the only one – many busy, successful people do
the same thing.

minutes in his home gym, and has a big breakfast. Then he gets ready for work, he puts on his
favourite jacket and drives to the office. When he gets to the building where he works, he takes
off his jacket and then he goes for a walk around a local park. After that he goes inside to start
work at nine o’clock. He looks forward to be home. On Thursdays, his alarm sets off even
earlier, at five twenty a.m., to study German. Powell is a lawyer that is why most of the time, he
fills in on documents, although some other forms are written by his secretary. Once in a blue
moon, he has to find out who is the guilty of a crime.
He works seventy hours a week, and he says that gets up helps him to do more during the day.
He isn’t the only one – many busy, successful people do the same thing.
Transition comment: Great work! Now it´s time to go deeper, we are going to watch a video in
which we´ll find more sentences like the one in the text”
Activity 1 (20 min)
Pre-watching
I will project on the board a presentation with some flags that they will have to identify orally.
(Italy, Usa, UK, France)
After that, I will project on the board objects and their names and students will have to match
them orally and altogether.

While watching
I will stop the video and we´ll be analyse each of the sentences and I will ask them if there is
another way to say the same sentences. I will remind them about the sentence from the text.
Eg. Television was invented by John Logie in 1923.
John Logie invented television in 1923.
After watching
“As you can see, we can say things in two different ways: in the active or in the passive voice”
I will ask students to complete the chart that they will have to copy on their folders:
Scaffolding strategies:
- Explain what they have to do;
- Monitor students while they are doing the activity;
- Provide them with the necessary help

While they listen to the audio, I will ask them to write down other piece of information about
each invention.
Scaffolding strategy: I will pause the audio after each invention in mentioned in order that they
can have time to take notes. If they need so, I will play it two or three times.
Activity 3 (10 min)
After that, they will have to work on the following activities from their student´s book:

(10 min)
I will start with a game based on questions that start with “have you ever…?” phrase. Students
will have to guess the missing word of each of these questions and then, answer them. I will
randomly ask them one by one. After their yes/ no answer, I will ask them “when?” so that they
will have to give more information by using the past simple.
Scaffolding strategy: Any of them can say the missing words aloud but only the one that I
choose will have to answer the selected question. I will encourage them to provide more
information about their answers by asking “when.”
Transition comment: “Great job! Do you remember the tense that you use to refer to different
experiences, events and actions that started in the past and still go on in the present?
(Expected answer: Present perfect). Now, pay attention to these pictures.”
(10 min)
I will project on the board the following pictures and I will tell students that the one on the left
shows Paul when he was younger. Then I will ask them “what has happened to him?”
I will give each of them a worksheet in which they´ll find some fill in the gaps sentences:
Worksheet:
Complete the sentences with the verbs from the box:
become- change- grow- lose- gain- stop

Scaffolding strategy: I will ask them “which tense do you think you should use in these
sentences? (wait for answers) you´re right! Present perfect.”
I will monitor them while they are working.
Transition comment: “Perfect! Let´s revise structure”
Activity 1: (10 min)
I´ll copy on the board the following explanation:
Then, I will project on the board the following sentences and they will have to choose the right
option. It´s an oral activity.
a) The Titanic have/ has sunk a long time ago.
b) My dad have gone/ has gone to Australia for 6 weeks.
c) He has lived/ has live in Alaska for a long time.
d) I have been/ has been to Paris, and you?
e) Has you found/ have you found your purse?
f) I have work/ have worked here since September.
I will project the following explanation:
1) We often use the present perfect to give ‘new’ information, for example when we want
to report an event that happened a short time ago:
Ouch! I’ve hurt my leg.
Spain have won the World Cup!
2) We often use the present perfect to talk about a situation that began in the past and
continues up to the present or future. It is often used with time expressions such as
since, for, never, etc.:
I’ve been married for nearly ten years.
John hasn’t lived alone since 2001
3) We often use the present perfect to talk about a past event that has a connection with
the present:

I’ve forgotten my dictionary at home. Can I borrow yours? (My dictionary is at home at
the moment.)
NOTE: If we say when something happened in a definitive time in the past, we cannot use the
present perfect. We use the past simple:
Yesterday, I forgot my dictionary at home, so I borrowed one from a classmate.
I will write on the board the following sentences and explain the use of the tense in each of
them:
I never ate/ have never eaten Chinese food, but I´d like to try it.
I never ate/ have never eaten Chinese food when I lived in China.
Next, I will give them another worksheet in which they will have to decide whether the
sentences are correct or not. They will work individually and then, we´ll check orally:
Worksheet:
 Are these sentences Ok? Correct the verbs that are wrong. (The verbs are underlined)
1. I´ve lost my key. I can´t find it. ___Ok_____
2. Have you seen Kate yesterday? ___Did you see______
3. I´ve finished my work at 2oclock. _______________
4. I´m ready now. I´ve finished my work. ___________
5. What time have you finished your work? _________
6. Sue isn´t here. She´s gone out. ________________
7. Steve´s grandmother´s died two years ago. ______
8. Where have you been last night? ______________
Scaffolding strategy: I will provide them two examples in order to make the activity clear.
Transition comment: “Well done! Now, let´s revise some exercises from the exam”
I will ask them to take their exams and go to activity 4 and 5. They already have the correct
answers but I will ask them to analyze them.
4.Make sentences from the words in brackets. Use the present perfect or past simple.

5. Complete the conversation. Then, order the dialogue.
Yes, I ____(have) a great time.
Yes, I ___. I ___ (go) to New York last summer.
I really ____ (love) Central Park and Fifth Avenue
I ____ (always/ want) to go to New York!
______(you/enjoy) it?
_____ (you/ ever / be) to the USA?
What ____ (be) your favourite places?
After that, I will project on the board a game to practice the difference between both tenses.
They will play altogether and orally.
Transition comment: “
Game: (15 min)
I will write on the board “have you ever...?” and then I will give each of them a copy in which
they´ll find phrases with the infinitive form of the verbs. One by one, they will choose a phrase
and make the affirmative sentence by taking that one into account. Then, his/ her classmate will
have to repeat the sentence the first one has said and then choose another phrase and create
his/ her own. After that, it´s the turn of another student and so on. The challenge is that they
have to remember all the sentences that their previous classmates have said.
Eg: (finish) a serie in one day
1st student: I´ve never finished a serie in one day.
(spend) 20 hours awake.
2nd student: He has never finished a serie in one day. I´ve never spent 20 hours awake.
1. (it/not/rain/this/week)
2. (it/be/cold/last/week)
3. (I/not/read/a newspaper

4. (I/not/read/a newspaper today)
5. (Emily/earn/a lot of money/this year)

I will start by checking the last activity from last lesson:
We´ll correct orally altogether.
Scaffolding strategy: Ask students why they decided to use that tense and what has helped
them to be sure of their choice.
Transition comment: “Great job! Now, maybe this mind map will help to remember the uses of
present perfect”
(15 min)
I will project on the board the following mind map about present perfect tense with examples on
each of the uses.

After that, I will ask them to think about other examples for each use by playing hopscotch. In
each of this numbers they will have a card upside down with one of the uses that we discussed
in the previous activity. They will have to throw a top of a bottle on any of the numbers and
according to place in which it falls, they will have to take that card, read it and say a sentence
related with that use of the present perfect.
Transition comment: “Great! Really good sentences!”
I will give them a crossword in a sheet of paper and they will have to write the participle form of
the verbs.

Transition comment: “That´s the way! Now what about regular verbs? Here we have a few of
them. What is the past participle of regular verbs?”
I will give them another worksheet in which they will have to do the following activities:

I will monitor them by walking along the classroom.
We´ll do together an example of each activity.
Transition comment: “You have worked really hard today. Let´s close this topic with a game”
Activity 3: (8 min)
I will project on the board a game to practice the difference between both tenses.
They will play altogether and orally.

I will project the following picture and ask them what conditional is that one:
After that I will project another and ask them to finish the sentence. “What conditional should
you use in this case?”
We´ll revise the structure of each of them together and I will ask them to write on the board the
structure of each of them.
Then, I will divide them in two groups and they will play a game. Each of them will have to
choose the right option and if they answer correctly, the team keep on playing otherwise it is the
turn of the other team.

Students will have to complete the following activity from a worksheet:
Transition comment: “You were great, so you`ve won another game”

passive. (This activity was not used during the lesson 15 and 16).

Scaffolding strategy: I will project the answer on the board after each of their answers.
If the one who has to provide the answer don’t know it, another classmate will be able to
answer.

Trivia game: I will divide students in two teams randomly. Then, I will project on the board a
“wordwall game” in which they will have to complete the sentences by selecting one of the four
options. The game is related with the inventions we have been discussing during the closure
activity last lesson. Each team will have ten seconds to select the right option. If they do it
correctly, they´ll keep on playing, otherwise it will be the turn of the other team. The one that
answer more questions correctly will win.
Scaffolding strategy:
- I will write the rules on the board
- I will provide them an example on how to play

between the inventors/ authors? Do you think women have created some objects? (Wait for
answers) Now, pay attention to these objects”
Activity 1 (20 min)
Pre-watching
I will project on the board the following pictures and then I will ask them “which six things do you
think were invented by women?” Students will have to guess and vote at the same time, by
choosing just 6 objects. In order to count their votes, I will write a chart on the board and note
their answers by writing “sticks” on the chart:

Dishwasher Disposable

5. The __________ was invented by Marie Van Brittan Brown in 1966.
6. The __________ was designed by Mária Telkes in 1948.

- We´ll read the questions altogether and orally
- I will play the video again and pause it after each invention so that students can take
some notes.
- Monitor while they are doing the activity
- Get students to compare with a partner
We´ll check altogether and orally.
Transition comment: “Well done, now let´s check the full script of the video”
Activity 2 (15 min)

Students will work individually. I will give each of them a worksheet with the script of the video
and they will have to complete the blank spaces with the proper form of the passive (past or
present) and then order the paragraphs.
I will play the video one more time but just the moments in which the objects appear so that
students can check the correct order of the script.
Answers:
Script
(__) Hello, and welcome to Science Now. When we think of famous inventors, we usually think of men – like
Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi, and Thomas Edison. But many of the things which make our lives
easier or safer today _______ (1. invent) by women. And on today’s show, we’re going to look at six of them.
(__) The dishwasher ______ (4. Invent) by a woman called Josephine Cochrane in eighteen eighty-six. She was
a rich American who gave a lot of dinner parties. But she was annoyed that her servants often broke plates and
glasses when they were washing up after a party. Oops! So, Cochrane decided to invent a machine which could
wash a lot of plates and glasses safely. She said, ‘If nobody else is going to invent a dishwasher, then I will!’
She designed the machine, and then she found a company to make it. At first, only hotels and restaurants
bought Cochrane’s new machine, but today, the dishwasher _____ (5. Use) in homes all over the world.
(__) And now an invention that has saved a lot of lives. The modern life raft ______ (8. Invent) by Maria Beasley
in eighteen eighty and then improved in eighteen eighty-two. Before her invention, life rafts were just wooden
platforms, and many people died in accidents at sea. Four of her life rafts _____ (9. Use) on the Titanic,
alongside the ship’s normal lifeboats. When the Titanic sank in nineteen twelve, only seven hundred and six
people survived, and nearly two hundred of them were in the life rafts designed by Beasley.
(__) One invention that definitely improved the lives of millions of people was the disposable nappy. They
______ (2. Invent) by a woman called Marion Donovan. Her father and uncle were inventors and, when she had
young children, she invented a nappy that you could use and then throw away. Before her invention, babies
wore nappies made of cotton – like these. And this meant a lot of washing. Although she invented the
disposable nappy in the nineteen forties, it wasn’t until nineteen fifty-one that an American company bought
Donovan’s idea. Today, millions of disposable nappies _____ (3. Use) every day, and Donovan’s invention is
now more eco-friendly. You can buy biodegradable nappies! And now another invention which has made life
easier.
(__) Our last invention is one of today’s most important green technologies. Mária Telkes, a Hungarian-
American scientist, worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States in the nineteen
forties. She was so interested in the power of the sun, that her nickname was ‘the Sun Queen’. In nineteen forty-
eight, she designed the first house which ______ (10. Heat) completely by the sun. The system worked for three
years. The solar technology we use today is very different from Telkes’s invention, but – like all our female
inventors – she showed the world what was possible. And today solar technology has the power to change our
lives and save our environment.
(__) Our fourth invention made life safer for people living in flats or apartments – video entry phones. They
_____ (7. invent) in nineteen sixty-six by Marie Van Brittan Brown, a nurse who lived in New York. Her
neighbourhood was quite dangerous and Brown was often at home alone, so she decided to invent something
that would make her feel safer. With the help of her husband, an electrician, she developed a camera that you
could put by the front door. This camera sent a picture of the person at the door to a screen inside the flat, and
there was also a microphone so you could talk to the person outside. If the person was a welcome visitor, you
pushed a button to let them in. If not, you could push another button to contact a security company. This system
is now common all over the world.
(__) The car _______ (6. Invent) by a man, but it was a woman, Mary Anderson, who solved one of the biggest
problems of driving. On a trip to New York in nineteen oh three, Anderson noticed that drivers had to open their
windows to see where they were going when it was raining. When she returned to her home in Alabama, she
invented windscreen wipers, which made driving a lot safer.

- Provide them with the necessary help;
- Walk around them and check the activities.
We will check the answers altogether and orally. Then I will ask them “Which three inventions do
you think are the most important? Which ones you could live without?” They will have to rise their
hands in order to answer and by doing so, everyone will listen to their classmates.
Transition comment: “I see you have different opinions and that is great!

Students will work individually. I will provide them another worksheet in which they will have to
make questions with the words given and then answer them:
I will remind them that we use the passive when we say what happens to the subject. It is also
used when the answers to who or what causes the action is often unknown.
Transition comment: “keep it up! You are doing it great! Let´s move on”
Activity 4 (15min)
Students will work in pairs. I will give them two texts: one for student A, and the other one for
student B. They will have to change the underlined phrases from active to passive voice, write
the entire text on his folders and then tell about the invention to his/ her partner.
Scaffolding strategy:
- I will provide them an example of each of the texts.
I will choose a couple or ask for a volounteer pair in order to read the texts with its passive
forms.
Transition comment: “Well done! Now let´s finish with a game!”
(15min)
I will divide students in two teams and give each of the groups a dice, some small cardboards
and the boardgame:
 Write questions using the passive. Then asnwer.
1. Ask about dishwasher. (when/ invent?) When was the dishwasher invented?
2. Ask about disposable nappy. (when/ create?) _____________________
3. Ask about video entry phones (where/ invent?) ____________________
4. Ask about solar panel (what/ use for?) ___________________________
Student A:
Why were vaccines a great innovation?
Disease is one of man greatest´s enemies. Between 1347 and 1351, (1)the Black death killed about 25 million people
in Europe. Before vaccine, people weren´t protected from disease. (2) Someone created the first vaccine in about
1800, but (3) people didn´t understand theory for another fifty years. Today, (5)most people in the developed world
receive the vaccines but poorer countries need even more vaccines.
Student B:
Printing
The earliest books were made by hand. This took a long time, so (1) people wrote very few copies. (2) Only rich and
important people brought them. (3) Nodody taught ordinary people to read.
(4) Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1450 and then, he printed copies from the Bible. In the modern
world, (5) the press prints millions of books, magazines and newspapers everyday.

(10 min)
Game
I will divide students in two teams randomly. Then, I will project on the board a “wordwall game”
in which they will have to complete the sentences with used to or the present simple. I would
ask them to answer questions in turns, i.e. question1 team 1, question 2 team 2, questions 3
team 1, and so on. I´ll keep a record of their answers on the board, so as to count the correct
answers later.
