This is another idea I have shamelessly stolen from Video by Richard Cooper, Mike Lavery and Mario Rinvolucri. Basically, it involves using a video camera to practice various grammar points in your course books. In this case the present continuous rule.
Lesson Plan
1 Present the rule in whatever way you usually do it.
2 Ask one student to work the digital camera or use his mobile phone. the others line up in a row, standing, and the person at at the one end mimes an action, e.g. brushing their teeth. The next person asks them:
"What are you doing ?"
The second student replies, "lying";
"I'm eating an apple"
The second student immediately starts miming eating an apple.
The third student asks:
"What are you doing ?"
The fouth student answers "
I'm chopping onions."
And so on and so forth.
3 The whole class view the computer screen.
4 Darken or turn round the screen so they the students can only hear. The students take dictation of each new present continuous tense.
5 Now use the course book to present the tense.
