The present progressive is not the normal tense for

narrative (story-telling). In present-tense stories and
commentaries, we usually use the present simple to
talk about the things that happen.

minutes

Activity to practice:
Students work in small groups of not more than four
participants. Each group has a set of cards, which are
randomly distributed before them, face down. The
first participant turns over any two cards and
describes the pictures revealed in brief present
progressive sentences, like "He is running. She is
eating.
They are fighting." Then the student replaces them
face down. This process is repeated, in turn, by the
participants, the aim being to remember where the
different cards were located and to turn up a
matching pair-which then becomes the property of
the one who found them. The winner is the one who
has the most pairs at the end.
Wrap up
Assign students to find two examples of the present
progressive in something they read or hear. Note
them down in two sentences and bring them in to the
next class.

Additional possibilities: Ss talk activities that they realize right now.

Homework/further work: do on page number 95 from the workbook.
