Instructional Ideas

• Assign to the class before the grammar lesson the next day for a flipped classroom activity
• Encourage learners to make a long list of possible gerunds, and to use them in different parts of their sentences
• Use the election-themed presentation in an election year, or when discussing elections and politics in social studies

Classroom Considerations

• Animations are fun, but might be distracting for younger learners
• Designed for English learners but helpful for all members of your class
• Best if used after your lesson on subject and object nouns

Pros

• Differentiates between gerunds and the present progressive tense, which is a common mistake
• Provides practice slides to reinforce concepts

Cons

• None
