This lesson plan aims to teach students how to talk about experiences in their lives using the present perfect tense. The lesson will begin with an introduction asking students about experiences they have had. Then, the teacher will present the grammar rules of the present perfect tense through examples. Students will practice this by asking each other questions about experiences and holding up signs to indicate whether time expressions match sentences. Finally, students will work in pairs, telling each other about an important experience and presenting what their partner told them to the class.
