(Clarifying Form)

T: Great, you are doing very well today. (Teacher writes the name of the tense – WILL

HAVE -FUTURE PERFECT on the board above the examples.) Now remember the previous

lessons. What do you see that you know in the sentences?

S: Will…

T: Yes, you know will is used for…?

S: Future events.

T: Yes… And here there is something more than ‘will’, isn’t it? Let’s find out them

altogether. Firstly, Kivanc is…?

S: Subject.

T: Yes, subject (underlines and labels it on the board). And then?

S: Will…

T: Right ‘will’ future marker. After?

S: Have.

T: Yes, there is ‘have’ and more…

S: Verb 3

AHMETOGLU 8

T: Yes and V3 comes after ‘have’ (Teacher underlines and labels all the things said while

they are telling)

Teacher writes the rule under the examples –S+Will+Have+V3…-

(Checking understanding of the meaning and the form)

T: Do we use future perfect tense for the future events that are planning to be done

continuously?

S: No.

T: Can we use this tense to mention about the things that are still on the way to be done?

S: No. It should be finished.

T: Yes, exactly. Then we can say that we use future perfect tense while making predictions

about the completion of a future event before another future time. Is it right?

S: Yes.

T: Do we use only ‘will’ to give this meaning?

S: No… Will+have+been(V3)

T: Great.

Rationale: Teacher used an inductive approach in this plan and involved the students in all

stages of the presentation part. Teacher created a context at the beginning of the lesson and

took their attention with a photo of her friend, then used different pictures to clarify the

meaning of the structure. Afterwards, teacher clarified the form and wrote the structure clearly

on the board by asking all elements of the sentence one by one. Lastly, teacher made a brief

conclusion using eliciting.

Transition: Congratulations, you get the idea I think. Let’s work on the structure a little

more.
