They will practice reading and writing the days of the week and will be tested on their knowledge to know its correct sequence.
Procedure (47-62 minutes)
1. T will introduce the topic by showing the ss an image of a calendar that contains the days of the week. The T elicits responses of what it is through gesture and mime. 2.

T will elicit days of the week from ss. Ss will be given timeline of days of week. Recording will be played.
1. T will repeat recording on days of week. T will lead drill session for pronunciation and sequencing of days of week for common errors. I.e. ensure that the d is not pronounced when the ss are reciting Wednesday 2. Ss will use the timeline distributed by getting into pairs to complete speaking exercise. Questions on timeline handout 3. Speaking exercise requires one ss to ask the other -What is the day today? - What is the day tomorrow? -What is the next two days after today?

T will go through telling time by using an example: The time is quarter to 6 and the time is half past 6. Explain to ss that you can also use quarter past 6 but you cannot use half to 6. 5.Ss will stay in their pairs and be given a handout task that requires them to match 4 images of different clock times with the correct answer. They will have 3 minutes to do this, before answers elicited and provided on the WB.
