Progress expectation
The students should be able to use the present continuous tense to
describe what they are doing using vocabulary associated to morning
routines.
Present Continuous Tense and morning routines
In the morning
Prepare student to be able to construct present continuous sentences to
explain what they are doing in the moment
Students should be able to state what they are doing in the present
moment using the present continuous, actions, and vocabulary dealing with
morning routines (brushing my teeth, getting dressed, waking up, etc.)
My students already know basic structure of the verb “to be” and all of the
forms: I am, you are, he/she is..etc. Students also recognize some of the
vocabulary such as teeth, coffee, do, make.
My personal computer to show video as a back up if necessary.
I will assess students periodically throughout the lesson using a mixture of
formal and informal assessments. Students will use worksheets with
grammar exercises to check comprehension. Students will also create
multiple sentences using the vocabulary, actions and grammar to test their
knowledge on the subject matter.
The overall lesson well. I only had one student in the class today, but I
adapted the materials as necessary to meet the needs of the one student. I
feel the level of the material was appropriate. The present continuous may
have been a new concept for my student, but I feel she understood the
lesson due to a large numbers of visuals and examples used to promote
comprehension. I would have changed my way to present the grammar. I’m
still learning how to properly present the grammar and I didn’t feel confident
in my approach. I tried to do multiple sentences broken down into parts, but
I should have just started with one complete sentence already in place on
the board. The level of attention was fairly good, but my student required
lots of examples and repetition. I think she was interested and content with
the final result of the lesson. She was determined and followed instructions
well. In the future I would do the activities for the majority the same, but I
would have presented the grammar differently and with sentences.

level) with a

begin by saying
my sentence, but
by doing a
different action (to
check for
comprehension).
For example, I
start motioning
like I am
swimming, but I
say I am brushing
my teeth. The
student to my

start “brushing his
teeth” or do the
action that I say
to show they
understood me.
They continue
doing my action
while reading
their sentence, “I
am getting

though they are
brushing their
teeth. The
