Procedure (35-45 minutes)
To warm the students up, I will ask them some questions. "Yesterday, I woke up at 9 o'clock. I wore my clothes and came to British Side. In the afternoon, I had lunch with my friend and it was really yummy. Then we went back to the British Side. What did you do yesterday afternoon?"
Here they will get an exercise in which they're gonna fill the blanks with time phrases. I'll ask them to do it individually first and then I will group them. I've prepared "fortune teller" game. I wrote the answers inside of fortune teller. The students will receive it to see their answers. Meanwhile, I'll write the blanks on the board. After they check their mistakes, they should come in front of the board and write the answers on the blanks one by one. For every answer they write, I'll do the drilling chorally and if necessary, individually.
I will draw the table which is given in the exercise sheet. First I will give them instructions about the exercise. I want them to be active so I'll make two groups or depending on the number of students I can pair them. I'll put the answers that I printed, on the board and they will talk to their partners about the right answer. I'll give them 2 minutes. Then they will come and tack the answers on the correct line.
The students need to read the ten given questions by themselves for a few minutes. Then, I'll pair them so they can write 2 more questions starting with "When did you last..........?". I'll give them an example like: "When did you last read a book?" Afterwards, I'll ask which questions did they write as a pair. If they did some mistakes, we will fix it together.
I will pair them with different partners. They will ask their partner the questions which are given(including their questions). They will write their partner's answers down. Then I will ask them what their partner said.
