These are some of the questions that students said they would like to ask one another using the present perfect. It is interesting that the hot items always cluster around the same themes. Questions about four topics are always winners, and they showed up here. These Top Tier Topics are:
• Music
• Pets
• Sports
• Cars
All are engaging topics. Kids will have an opinion about them. They will always have something to say about those. But other topics also showed up. These may be considered Second Tier Topics:
• Travel
• School
• Work
• Food
These topics can be the source of compelling input in your classroom. Whether you are using the present perfect or other verb forms, if your questions include something about these subjects, students will respond. Here are some sample questions to get you started
