Age: All ages
Materials: Ipads/tablets/laptops, story, mini whiteboards, whiteboard, maps of students hometowns
Warmer: Sushi line - Students make 2 lines facing each other and answer personal questions about memories with the person opposite (use past and present perfect tenses). Move 1 line 1 person to the right after each question so students have a new partner for each question.
Lead in: Story time - For kids you can use one of aesops fables or for teens and adults you can tell them a funny story from your life and get them to complete some questions.
Teach grammar: Tea party - On the board write some questions that different students have answers to. Give students a cup with a drink and a piece of paper with a clause of a sentence and an answer about past perfect. Students mingle and share the information they have to answer the questions on the board. Timelines, information about when we use, and example sentences, and anything else that focuses on meaning are the most useful pieces of information.
Language in use: Sentence jumble, grammar auction, and a kahoot - Use the sentence jumble to familiarize students with the form, a grammar auction will cement this, and a kahoot will allow students to review everything.
Controlled practice: Guess what happens next - Say a had + past participle clause and get students to complete the sentence. To make it competitive you can give points for the funniest, or most creative, or most surprizing.
Freer practice: Memory lane - Students are given a map of their town and are asked to think of memories and anecdotes. They must use the past perfect for each anecdote at least once. Students then share these with the class.
