This document outlines a lesson plan for a 4th grade high school English class. The aims of the lesson are for students to create dialogs asking information questions about past experiences to enhance communication skills. Students will work in pairs to create characters, ask each other questions using the present perfect tense, and perform their dialogs for the class. The teacher introduces the topic, states the aims, models an example dialog, and monitors students as they work. Pairs then take turns performing their dialogs. Finally, the teacher reviews common mistakes and provides overall feedback.
