 Here, we have another teaching idea for the future continuous tense, and this involves two students trying to plan a meeting between themselves sometime in the future. One student will have a planner such as this, filled in with quite a few activities. Their partner will also have a planner, filled in with activities on opposite days. The activity will be rigged so that only one day allows for both of them to meet together. The objective of the activity will be to find that day. They'll need to do so by asking a series of questions. One may begin with, would you be available on the 14th? Here this student would notice that they have a conference and respond with, I'm sorry, I'll be attending a conference. He may return with another day and by asking these series of questions, eventually they'll arrive at the day they can meet. As with any activity where certain members of the group are missing information and they have to compare and contrast their information, we have to make sure that the students aren't actually showing each other their diaries and they're having to ask each other questions and respond verbally.
