This is my lesson plan for Grade 1 Lesson 2, covering the "dialogue" on page 25. It basically follows the powerpoint.
1. (5 min) Review Clock Times
2. (10 min) Do the 1st "dialogue" on page 25
A: What time do you get up?
B: Usually at 7:00.
Making the students use "usually."
3. Got through the next few slides practicing the dialogue.
4. Practice with your friends. Since it is so easy and simple, they only get 1 minute and then I make a few lucky individuas stand up and show off. They have to change the underlined parts of the conversation.
5. (10 min) Do the same for the 2nd "dialogue" on page 25.
A: What do you do after dinner?
B: I listen to music?
6. Activity
(Explanation 7 min) I hand out pieces of paper that have either times or activities written on them (boys get activities and girls get times). (See slide 20 for the times and activities). The boys will then have to stand up and find their partner (girl with matching time.) (show slide 20 so that they can find the right partner) On the board I write:
Boys: What time do you ____?
Girls: Usually at _____.
(Find partner 5 minutes) They have to use this text to find their partner and then they sit down together. I try to make this short. They will stand around talking if I let them, so at about minute 3 I start saying, "sit down" so that by five minutes almost everyone has found their parnter--but you have to be on them to make sure it doesn't take all day.
Go though day: 10 min) Then we go through the day one by one. On the board I write:
Girls: What do you do at _ (time)_?
Boys: I _____.
After "I wake up." I ask the class, "What do you do next?" And the students with the next activity (brush teeth) stand up and do their part.
I always have one of the activities--usually somewhere in the middle--so I provide a short break for humor by talking in a gravely man voice.
