Quick review: teacher shows clock flashcards. Students say the time. Ask: “What time do you wake up?”
Vocabulary Introduce routine verbs using flashcards and mime: wake up, get dressed, brush teeth, eat breakfast, go to school, etc. Choral repetition and TPR with students(audio from ex.3).
Use examples from the book and model present simple sentences on the board: * I wake up at 7 o’clock. * She goes to school at 8 o’clock. Highlight third-person 's' and use visuals to contrast "I" vs "He/She". Listening Task* (ex.1,track 35 – Audio from Kid’s Box): Students hear information about daily routine of a child and they need to match actions to times. This models both vocabulary and grammar in context.
Present 2 games through the projector: 1)Matching Exercise: Students match time phrases with the correct daily routine verbs. Focus is on accuracy. 2)Unscrambling Exercise: Give them time to choose, then check with the whole class feedback. Speaking Drills (Guided Pair Work)*: Use structured dialogue prompts: * What time do you get up? * I get up at 7 o’clock. Students interview each other on their daily routine and fill in a class survey.
Class Survey Reporting*: Each student reports on a partner’s routine using full sentences: * Daria goes to school at 8 o’clock. She has lunch at 12, etc.
