WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED?

A few days ago I came across a very short but hilarious video of an eagle performing what is call an epic facial expression. It inspired me to introduce it in the class to practice the use of JUST in PRESENT PERFECT sentences. I believe it may be fun to use the video in the class and let the student comment on it in a creative way. Here is the short activity that I came up with.
SPEAKING/VIDEO

The teacher plays a short video. The students' task is to answer the question:
What has just happened to the eagle?

It's a good idea to encourage the students to be creative and invent some crazy answers to the question. Some examples of the answers may be as follows:

  • It has just saw another eagle in its nest.
  • It has just sat on a thorny tree branch.
  • It has just saw a hunter pointing a rifle at it.
  • It has just learnt that its wife pregnant.
  • It has just learnt that he won a jackpot in a lottery. 
  • It has just realized that he forgot to flush the toilet.
