1. Warm-up/Review (Time allotted: 10 minutes )

Objective: To greet students and review what we did last week as well as what we will be doing today

Pre: T will greet Ss and ask what they did this weekend.

While: T will try to elicit phrases using simple present and present continuous in Ss’s answers about their weekend. T will write the rule abut simple present and present continuous on the board.

Simple present= habitual actions (you always do it, everyday)

Present continuous = actions that are happening right now

T will model the structure of sentences using simple present and present continuous on the board and ask Ss to come up with sentences and identify what tense the words are while also practicing structure.

She works (subject+verb)

She is working (subject+be+verb+-ing)

Post: T will ask Ss to explain what is simple present and what is present continuous and give an example of both.

Evaluation: How students answer the question “What is simple present and what is present continuous?” Next if they are able to give examples then T will know if Ss understand the tense.

Pre: T will continue to create a list of words on the board under two categories Sports and Fitness Activities. T will ask Ss to come up with as many as they can. T will list the sport/activity under the correct category, then after they have come up with all they can, T will ask Ss to tell them what the difference is between sports and fitness activities based on what is listed under them.

T will also have a new words vocabulary list on the side of the board for Ss to copy down new vocabulary words Ss may not know.

While: Ask students to open up their books and look at the chart in their books. T will then tell Ss to privately guess what sport is the most popular in the US in each category. Once Ss check which one they think is the most popular, T will ask each to come up to the board and circle the sport they think is most popular and explain why.

T will model the answer on the board with:

T will ask Ss to go through the chart and answer what they think is most popular among each age group and to choose one sport. T will model that any answer is right, it is their own opinion what they choose.

While Ss complete the task individually, T will write the conversation on the board so Ss will be able to answer the question in correct structure form.

A: What age groups like _________________?

Post: Class will play Sculptures game. Ss will split into two groups. Each group will be given different slips of paper that have sports listed on them. T will explain that each group will need to act out the activity they’re given and the other group will need to guess what they’re doing. When a group guesses the sport or activity correctly they get a point. If they use the correct verb, “She is playing soccer”, they get a bonus point.

Evaluation: How well Ss can guess/ play the game and answer using the correct present tense of the verb.

T will explain each team will get to choose a word in the box then have to come up with a sentence or phrase using the frequency adverb. One team is X and one team is O. If they are able to use the word correctly the word will be replaced with either an X or O in the box.

In+ parts of day (except night)

On+ days of the week

Practice: We will play the game Run For It! Found on page t-148. I will have made notecards with the words in, at and on written on them. The room will be split into two teams and each given a set of these notecards. T will read 10 sentences and ask the teams to have one person as the ‘runner’ and the rest can sit in their desks, but everyone has to participate in the group. T will read a sentence that is missing either in, at or on; such as I get up (blank) 6 a.m. The team will have to decide which preposition fits and then the runner will be told to go grab the ball at the front of the room and whoever gets there first with the correct answer will receive a point. There will only be one runner designated for the whole game.

T will then explain the meaning of adverbs early, late, around, until, before and after and play the audio program explaining the meanings of these words.

Pre-listening: T will explain to the students that we will be listening to a clip describing Rodney, Tina and Ellen’s conversation about their daily schedules and occupations. T will explain we’ll be listening to the clip then filling out answers in the blank chart in their worksheet after we listen together.

During: T will play the audio clip for students and ask students to fill in the blanks in their textbook while listening to the audio.


Post: The class will go through the answers and T will ask the Ss to debate which schedule they think is the best and why. We will take a vote and pick a winner for the best schedule after students have elicited their arguments.

~~Transition: “Great job you guys. Now I’d like to you to focus your attention to the projector screen. As a class we were able to come up with the same answer to who has the best schedule. Now I want to see what same or similar schedules we might share in our real lives. Let’s take a look.”

7. Class Activity about Common Schedules (Allotted time: 15 minutes)

What time does she do each thing?” T will transition from here by asking the Ss “What time do you get up during the week?”

During: T will then ask the Ss to fill out the activity about themselves, then compare their answers with a partner. T will model with S how to ask, “What time do you… ‘get up during the week’ ‘get up on the weekends’ ‘have breakfast’. Then if there are any similarities they can use ‘useful expression’s like ‘We both…at…’ and ’We … at different times” T will instruct students to go through the times they perform tasks through their day, and find either one similarity or difference in times of a particular task during the day and come up with one sentence using the ‘useful expressions’ model.

Post: T will ask Ss to go around the room and share their sentences.

~~Transition: “Good job you guys, now you know if someone asks you, ‘when do you get home from school?’ you will know how to properly answer and ask them back ‘what time do you get home from school?’ and compare times and similarities and differences. Our last activity today will require you to read about Teresa, Kerin and Lamar and their occupations, schedules and reasons for why they do what they do at the these times during the day.”
