Flushed Away: Present Perfect

This animated movie is simply wonderful. The whole idea of the movie is extremely intelligent and the graphics are amazing. I loved it. I used this scene to practice the present perfect tense because it shows the mouse Roddy doing a lot of things during the day, which hasn’t ended yet. I tried to relate Roddy’s reality to my students’ routine. My students had a great time with it.

I. Write sentences with at least 10 activities you have done so far today:

Ex:

I have brushed my teeth.

I have had fruit for breakfast.

II. Now watch the movie segment from the movie Flushed Away. Check the activities Roddy has performed that were the same as yours.

III. Share your answers with a few partners.

IV. Now write down 5 sentences with activities he has performed today, but you haven’t yet.

Ex: I haven’t listened to music yet.
