The teacher divides the class into two teams. Students look at the picture and the teacher introduces Mr May. (Mr May is a strange old man. He doesn't like changes. He has been doing the same things for years.) Then, looking at the list of verbs and using the picture as a stimulus, students, in turn, suggest what Mr May has been doing.
