Giving students time

My class today was the focus of my module 3 paper. As a result I paid a lot of attention to new vocabulary and grammar and tried to get the students to make sense of the new information themselves.
The grammar focus was the present perfect continuous and the students all had a working knowledge of this. So the idea of the class was to give students practice using this grammar and to see how it worked in real situations, like in a film clip I showed them. There was no vocabulary that popped up in the text and I dealt with them as they arose, but did not give them any hint as to what it meant. I put them in pairs and gave them a few minutes to think about the word themselves. Most times they managed to figure it out. I had no reason to explain the grammar as such as the already knew that.
I used the video in the isolation part of the lesson and used a gap filling exercise and the students filled in the gaps of the utterances in the clip. We then verified their answers as a class later. I then prepared a questionnaire  and the students asked one another  modeled questions such as , have you been enjoying the festival lately? They were made to answer with full sentences. They then had to choose a follow up question, since when? or for how long?
 Both of these had been touched upon earlier in the lesson so the students knew when to use for and since and in what situation. After tis practice of the grammar the students were given about 5 minutes to make their own questions aimed at a particular person in the class. they then asked this question, with the follow up and any other questions that anyone felt like asking. This was the production phase of the lesson.
I felt it went quite well. i made a concerted effort to reduce teacher talk in the class, and I believe I collected good material to focus on my module 3 assignment.
