Finally, the last practice arrived. For this class my tutor was not present, but another teacher was a substitute for the day. In the warm-up, the "lady in red" (song) was used to recall the present perfect tense. To make it different, I created a worksheet, so they would fill in the spaces of missing lyrics (we checked answers later).
I focused on practice because students had been studying present perfect simple & progressive for some days. The second activity was about having speaking practice with the question "have you ever + present perfect". They got pictures and 6 different cases. They were to interview a couple of classmates, write down their names and answers. In the end, I asked some students to provide some of their answers, and they got the target structure right.
I only developed one more activity for the substitute teacher told me I only had 5 more minutes (when I had only taken half an hour). I think the problem was that the class started at 9:10, but that's because students arrived late (I got 15 minutes earlier, 8:45). Anyway, I was able to develop activities that involved the 4 macro-skills, so it was a well-rounded class.
The last activity consisted of students working on a worksheet that contained matching, fill in the blanks, forming present perfect sentences using some fragments, making questions, and "since" & for" exercises. I checked their answers and they did alright. This final experience was not as good as the prior class, but overall, not bad either. It's been a challenging and meaningful time for me in the practicum II, thanks for your comments.
