Introduction

The introduction is an important phase for any lesson plan. In this phase, it is important to engage the students and help them understand the focus of the lesson. For this lesson plan, it is important to introduce the idea of a daily routine. Start by asking the students to share their own daily routines, asking questions such as what time do you usually wake up, when do you usually have breakfast, etc. To make this activity more interactive, have the students show the time on the clock when they answer. This will help them learn how to tell time.

Pronunciation

Have the students read the vocabulary words out loud and practice the sounds of each word in order to improve their pronunciation.

Grammar Point (Present Simple)

Introduce the present simple tense and how it is used to describe a habit or daily routine. Review the verb conjugation rules with the students and practice using the present simple in sentences. For example:

• I wake up at 7:00.
• I take a shower before breakfast.
• I always do my homework after dinner.

How to Tell the Time

Practice telling the time on the clock by having the students tell you what time it is when you point to the hour and minute hands. Then, do a few activities introducing analog and digital clocks.

Questions

Have the students answer questions in the present simple to check their comprehension. For example:

• What do you do before you go to school?
• When do you usually have dinner?
• What time do you usually wake up?

Assessment

Assess the students’ understanding by having them write sentences about their daily routines.

Differentiation

For students who need extra help, provide visual aids like a clock with hands that they can manipulate. For students who need a challenge, have them draw a timeline to show their daily activities.
