Description

In this lesson, students practice the time phrases with on,in,at and present simple (he,she,it) questions and short answers with the help of listening.The lesson starts with the teacher's asking questions like ''Do you have daily routines?'' (Yes.) E.g. ''I wake up at five o'clock in the morning.'' ''What are your daily routines?'' ''Do you have weekly routines?'' (Yes.) E.g. ''I get up at eleven o'clock on saturday mornings.''and the students' answers for the questions like the example sentences given by the teacher.Then,students work in pairs and tell each other about their routine in the week,e.g.'' Bora: I get up at five o 'clock in the week.''Ömür: ''Really?I get up at about eleven!'' After that ,a few students tell the class one or two things about their partner,and teacher focuses students on the tables,points out the prepositions ''on, in, at ''and the examples.Then students writes the words and phrases in the correct column in the exercise 1 on page 40 SBook on their own.after that,Teacher draws the tables on the board and students come to the WB and write each phrase in the box under the right column of the table it goes in.Then teacher uses the tables to highlight the following patterns:1-) We use ''on'' with days of the week (Sunday,e tc.) and parts of particular days( Tuesday morning, etc.); 2-) We use ''in'' with the morning, the afternoon and the evening (but we say ''at night'' not ''in night''); 3-) We use ''at''with times (six o'clock, midday , etc.). Also point out that we say ''in the week'' and ''at the weekend.'' Teacher reminds students that midday = 12.00 and midnight = 24.00 and writes on WB and tells the class that when we talk about our routines, we can use the singular or plural form of days, parts of days and the weekend and gives examples on WB: 1-)''I play football on Friday/ Fridays.''2-)''He goes to the cinema on Wednesday evening/ evenings. 3-)''They eat out at the weekend/weekends.''Teacher play the recording 28 for exercise 1 b on page 40 of Sbook.Then students listen and practise and teacher point out that we say the weak form of ''at'' weak /ət/ with time phrases.Students repeat the drill if necessary and fill in the gaps with the correct prepositions.(the exercise 2a on page 40 of SBook on their own.Later students check their answers in pairs.Teacher check answers with the class.1-) at 2-) at,in 3-) on 4-) at,on 5-) in 6-) on. Students focus on the photo for the exercise 3a on page 40 of SBook. After that,teacher asks students what they remember about Carol and Tom from the previous lesson,gives students time to read sentences 1-5 and plays the recording 29 for the exercise 3a on page 40 of SBook. Students listen and choose the correct words in the sentence and compare answers in pairs. Then teacher check answers with the class on WB:2-) doesnt work 3-) Italian 4-) Germany 5-) two Teacher gives students time to read questions 1-6 and plays the recording 29 for exercise 3b on page 40 of SBook again.
