Time

Divide the class into pairs or small groups. Distribute role-play scenario cards (e.g., at a restaurant, at a party, at a doctor's office) with instructions for each role and actions to perform. Each scenario should involve ongoing actions.

10 min

Allow students time to read their scenario cards and prepare their roles. Encourage them to use the present continuous tense during their role-play to describe ongoing actions. For example: At a restaurant: "I am ordering pasta." At a party: "She is dancing with her friends." At a doctor's office: "The nurse is taking my blood pressure." Circulate among groups to provide support, correct mistakes, and ensure students are using the tense correctly.

Cross curricular contents

stage 3

Assess understanding of historical events using the present continuous. Promote the practical application of verb tense in a historical context. Promote reflection on the relevance and continuity of historical events in the present.

Diagnosis

Project objectives

Integrate the present continuous as a linguistic tool to explore and narrate historical events in the present tense

Improve historical understanding through the active use of language, foster connections between past and present, and promote critical analysis and synthesis skills. e.g. "The Industrial Revolution is transforming economies across Europe."

Project justification

Dynamic contextualization: Allows students to visualize historical events as continuous, dynamic processes rather than static events

It facilitates a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of historical events by considering their impact over time.
