• Stimulate constant and effective practice of English, both in the classroom and outside, through fun and contextualized activities.

Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Review of previous contents (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher should start the lesson by briefly reviewing the tenses already studied, with special emphasis on the present perfect tense, which will serve as the basis for understanding the future perfect tense. Students will be encouraged to remember the rules of formation and usage of the present perfect tense, as well as to compare it to the simple past, in order to understand the logic behind the formation of verb tenses.

2. Problem situations (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher should present two hypothetical situations that require the use of the future perfect tense. For example: "Imagine you are telling a friend about an event that has not yet happened, but will be completed before another future event. How would you describe this event?" or "Think of a promise you would make to yourself about something you are sure you will have completed before a certain time in the future. How would you express this idea in English?".

3. Contextualization (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should explain the importance of the future perfect tense in daily and professional contexts. For example, in business contexts, the future perfect tense is often used to describe plans or predictions that are expected to have been completed at a certain point in the future. Additionally, in everyday life, the future perfect tense is useful for expressing expectations and promises, as well as for telling stories about the future.

4. Introduction to the topic (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should then introduce the topic of the future perfect tense, explaining that it is used to describe actions that will be completed at some point in the future before another action or event. The teacher can then present an example of a sentence in the future perfect tense, such as: "By this time next year, I will have graduated from university". This sentence will serve as a starting point for the discussion and practice of the future perfect tense.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. "Future Perfect Timeline" Activity (10 - 12 minutes): The teacher should divide the class into groups of 4-5 students. Each group will receive a large colorful sheet of paper and a set of markers. The task will be to create a collective "future perfect timeline", where each group member will contribute at least one sentence in the future perfect tense describing an event or action that will occur at a specific point in the future. The teacher should circulate around the room, guiding the groups and assisting them with any doubts.

• For example, a student may write: "By the end of the week, I will have finished my project". Another student can then add: "By the time I graduate, I will have visited all seven continents". And so on.

• In addition to practicing the formation and usage of the future perfect tense in a fun and collaborative way, this activity will also help students develop their teamwork skills and enhance creativity by thinking of interesting and varied future events.

2. "Future Perfect Scenarios" Activity (10 - 12 minutes): After the completion of the timeline activity, the teacher will distribute to each group a series of everyday or professional scenarios that require the use of the future perfect tense. Students should discuss in their groups how they would express each scenario in English, paying special attention to the formation and usage of the future perfect tense. Then, they should write their sentences on a piece of paper and present them to the class.

• For example, a scenario could be: "You are planning a birthday party for a friend who is returning from a long period abroad. You want to express that all preparations, including decorations, food, and gifts, will be ready when your friend arrives home". The students should then write their corresponding sentence in the future perfect tense.

• This activity will help students apply what they have learned about the future perfect tense in meaningful and realistic contexts, and also develop their critical thinking skills by considering how to express complex ideas in English.

3. "Future Perfect Role Play" Activity (5 - 7 minutes): To conclude the Development stage, the teacher will organize a role-playing activity. Each group will receive a different scenario that requires the use of the future perfect tense. Students will be encouraged to use not only sentences in the future perfect tense but also other relevant structures and vocabularies learned in previous classes. After all groups have had the opportunity to present, the teacher will briefly review the key points of the lesson and answer any questions students may have.

Return (8 - 10 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (3 - 4 minutes): The teacher should gather all students and create a discussion environment for each group to share their solutions, conclusions, or discoveries from the activities. Each group will have a maximum of 2 minutes to present. This will allow students to learn from each other, see different approaches to the same problems, and develop their oral communication skills. The teacher should ensure that all students are involved in the discussion, encouraging them to ask questions and provide constructive feedback to their peers.

2. Connection to Theory (2 - 3 minutes): After the group discussion, the teacher should quickly review the theoretical concepts discussed during the lesson and how they were applied in practical activities. This will help reinforce students' learning and consolidate their knowledge of the future perfect tense. For example, the teacher can highlight some of the well-formulated sentences by students during the activities and explain why they are correct and how they demonstrate the appropriate usage of the future perfect tense.

3. Individual Reflection (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should then propose that students reflect individually on what they have learned in the lesson. To facilitate reflection, the teacher can ask the following questions:

   1. "What was the most important concept you learned today?"
   2. "What questions have not been answered yet?"
   3. "How can you apply what you learned today in real communication situations in English?"

   The teacher may ask students to write down their answers in a notebook or a note-taking app on their mobile devices. These reflections will serve as a starting point for the next lesson and help the teacher identify any gaps in students' understanding that need to be addressed.

4. Feedback and Closure (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher should end the lesson by thanking the students for their participation and asking for brief feedback on the lesson. Students can be encouraged to share what they liked most and what they found most challenging. The teacher should then provide final feedback on the overall performance of the class, reinforce the key points of the lesson content, and make a brief prediction of what will be covered in the next lesson.

Conclusion (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Summary and Recapitulation (2 - 3 minutes): The teacher should start the Conclusion of the lesson by briefly summarizing the key points covered during the lesson. This will include a recap of the concept of the future perfect tense, its formation and usage, and the importance of mastering this verb tense for effective communication in English. The teacher can refer to specific examples from the activities carried out by students during the lesson to illustrate these points.

2. Connection between theory, practice, and applications (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher should then connect the presented theory with the practices carried out during the lesson and the applications of the future perfect tense in real life. This can be done by highlighting how group activities and role-plays allowed students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practical situations, and how the ability to use the future perfect tense correctly can improve their written and oral communication in English.

3. Extra Materials (1 - 2 minutes): The teacher should suggest additional study materials for students who wish to deepen their understanding of the future perfect tense. This may include links to explanatory videos, English teaching websites, online exercises, grammar books, among others. The teacher may also recommend that students practice the future perfect tense in their English reading and writing activities, and observe its usage in movies, series, songs, and other media.

4. Relevance of the Topic (1 minute): To conclude, the teacher should reinforce the importance of the future perfect tense in everyday life, highlighting how the ability to express ideas about future events completed before another event can be useful in various situations, whether at school, work, or in personal situations. The teacher should encourage students to continue practicing the future perfect tense and seek opportunities to use it in their English interactions, in order to consolidate their learning and improve their language skills.
