English speaking practice present continuous

-->
As a private English teacher, özel İngilizce öğretmeni, I encounter many students who prefer to focus on English speaking practice, İngilizce konuşma, in our private English lessons, İngilizce özel ders, in İstanbul. Here is a lesson plan to narrate a video with the present continuous.

Goal:
I can describe what someone does in the moment.

Lesson:
Watch and describe the action video of Putin with present continuous.

Target language:
He is + verb -ing

Video:
newsfeed.time.com/2013/07/16/watch-adventure-time-with-vladimir-putin/

Student performance:
He is flying a plane.
He is wrestling.
He is diving in a submarine.
He is shooting a bear.
He is racing a car.

★ This creative lesson uses authentic news video for visual learners and gives a performance activity for speaking fluency.
▶ Allow the student to take notes during the first view and then present on a second view.
