## Lesson Stages: Present Perfect
This framework provides a step-by-step guide for teachers to move from warm-up to freer production when teaching 'have + past participle'.

## Stage 1: Warm-up & Lead-in
* **Activity 1: 'Never Have I Ever'**: A school-safe version using 5 fingers to accustom students to hearing 'I have...'.
* **Activity 2: 'Find Someone Who'**: Mingle activity where students ask 'Have you ever...?' to find matches in a grid of experiences like 'has owned a dog'.
* **Common Student Experiences**: Bridge data with grammar using survey results (e.g., 85% played video games, 45% traveled abroad).

## Stage 2: Grammar Presentation
* **Bridging to Grammar**: An inductive approach where teachers write student sentences on the board to identify the pattern.
* **Structure**: Subject + HAVE/HAS + Past Participle (V3).

## Stage 3: Controlled Practice
* **Sentence Scramble**: Focus on word order with exercises like 'never / I / octopus / eaten / have'.

## Stage 4: Freer Production
* **The Bucket List Challenge**: Practice 'I haven't... YET' by listing three things students want to do before they die.
* **Activity 3: Two Truths & A Lie**: Students write three sentences about life experiences; the class guesses the lie and asks follow-up questions in the Past Simple.

## Stage 5: Wrap-up & Review
* **Error Correction**: Consolidate learning by reviewing anonymous student sentences and identifying common auxiliary verb or word order mistakes.
