Thumbs up Re: Teaching present continuous

I suggest that, if you have access to a classroom projector (or just a laptop that can be turned round to show the class), you make a powerpoint with all their favourite sports stars - other celebrities could also be included, such as pop stars or film stars not just in their usual activities, but doing other things as well. The Internet is a great source for images - you could try Google images or sports/cinema/gossip magazines to get the images.
The PPT could be helpful in making them realize the form of the verb as well making it appear slowly- you could make a multiple choice quiz with sounds (there are ready-made templates, but it is not difficult to make one yourself with cheers for correct answers and boos for wrong ones).
After this, you could make a worksheet with the same images.
In case you don't want to go into all this trouble, I suggest you look into a wonderful website with great pictures, worksheets, flashcards and everything you could dream of, www.mes-english.com, which will help you out with the images and everything. Just one thing: don't forget to stress the time expressions and the fact that the action is taking place NOW (as suggested in the visuals).
Happy teaching, as they say!
