КСП «Prom or Morp Language focus 1 -ing forms» по английскому языку, 8 класс

1. Identify and categorise -ing forms (gerunds / present participles) in a short real-world text with 80% accuracy.
2. Use at least three correct -ing forms (gerund after verb/preposition or as subject) in a written creative task (prom/morp scenario).
3. Apply the value of diligence by completing a tiered grammar-editing task and reflecting on the quality of own work.

Teacher says: “Listen to a short story about a school prom. There is one grammar mistake with an -ing form. Raise your hand when you spot it.”

Story: “Last week we planned having a prom. Everyone was excited about decorating the hall. But Max suggested to organise a ‘Morp’ – a backwards prom! The idea of dancing in pyjamas sounded funny. However, to start the event late was a problem. Swimming in the pool after midnight? That was not allowed.”

Teacher asks: “Which verb form is wrong? Why?”

Expected mistake: “to organise” after “suggested” → should be “organising”. Also “to start” as a subject → should be “starting”.

Elicit rule: after certain verbs (suggest, enjoy, avoid) we use gerund, not infinitive. As a subject we prefer gerund.

• Listen actively, track the story.
• Raise hand when they hear the mistake.
• Volunteer to correct: “suggested organising”, “starting the event”.
• Briefly explain the rule in own words.
