- THE (IM) PERFECT DATE
What would your student 1 have to do to be ready for a date with the man of her dream? Brainstorm will of the things she would need to do to be ready for her date at 7 p.m., the following evening, and arrange those tasks in a timeline. How much time will student 1 need to be ready by 7? Now, tell your class that a flat tire has caused student 1 to b elate in getting ready for her date. She lost 90 minutes, but her dream date will still arrive at 7 P.M. students make observations (based on your time line) what student 1 will have done and will have not done by time Mr. Right arrives.
- CLASSMATE PREDICTIONS
On several small slips of paper, students write anonymous predictions about their classmates’ futures using the future perfect (no names). “This person will have had 5 children in 5 years.” Students hand these predictions in and read each prediction in front of the class. Can they guess who the prediction is about and who wrote it?
- TO DO LIST
Have your students make a “to do list for today”, this week or this month. Ask them to share with partners the things they will have done once their “to do” lists are complete.
