Procedure (36-51 minutes)
after greeting ss, tell ss that I'm going to tell you about my typical daily routine.Show ss a small alarm and set the time at 6.00 Am (the alarm rings). Ask ss : what do I do at 6.00 am ? elicit answers(you wake up , get up ) yes, I always wake up at 6.00 am. Then I set the time again at 7.00 am .and ask ss: What activity do I do at 7.00 am? Elicit: (you get dressed, have breakfast...) yes. I usually have breakfast with my family.Set the alarm for another time at 7.30 and ask ss/; what activity do I do at 7.30? Elicit (you drive to school, go to work ...) yes I often get to work at 7.30.Then ask ss "how often do I wake up at 6.00? ss: always).How often do I have breakfast with my family? ss: usually / how often do I get to work at 7.30? ss:often. write on Wb always / usually / often elicit that these are" adverbs of frequency" and we are going to study them today. praise ss and tell them that they did great .
Now , ask ss to open their books on P.30.and look at the picture for 1M.and try to predict what is the text about?.elicit answers (daily life of a family/the life of a farmer,....).Before ss read the text. I will introduce the blocking vocab.e.g.(series / continue/ culture/ field); 1- elicit these words by giving their meaning ,then check ss understanding through CCQS.: (series:(noun) a set of several articles about the same subject or topic) : Is it about one article or several? / Is it about different subjects? etc. (continue: (verb) to keep or go on doing sth. without stopping ) e.g.She continues telling the story until the kid sleeps: Does she stop telling the story? (No)/ What does she go on? (Telling a story). (culture: way of life or beliefs of people in a particular place or a country) Ask ss: Is it a way of life in a country? Who express or reflect the beliefs of a place or a country?(people in particular place …). 2- give a correct pronunciation of each word .get ss repeat. 3- Write the form of each word on WB.
Hand out worksheets to ss then tell ss: In your worksheets,work in pairs and read the text quickly to answer these questions within 3M .- ask ss ICQS to make sure they understand : - Are you going to work alone or in pairs? *In pairs - Are you going to read the text first or the questions? * the questions. - how much time do you have? 3m 1- where do Garjan and Anjan work? 2- where do they work - in the city or the countryside? 3- what job do they do? 4- When do they get up every morning? - check answers as a whole class. Answers 1 in the countryside 2 they're farmers 3 it's hard 4 At 4 am.
in this stage , ask ss some questions to get them pick out examples of the target language e.g.:1- What do the family always do at 9.00 am? ss : They always stop work for breakfast. 2- What activity does the family never do together? ss:The family never eats together. Write these examples on WB and underline the adverbs (always - never).Elicit that we call these" adverbs of frequency" and we use them to say how often we do things or how often things happen. Get ss to underline more adverbs in the text.elicit answers (usually - often).Draw a percentage timeline on WB and write "never" on the far right of the timeline 0% .elicit where to write "always" since it tells 100% ss: on the far left of the timeline.Encourage ss to come up to the board and complete the timeline and write (usually - often - sometimes).Ask CCQS: What adverb means all the time ? ss: Always What percentage does "never" give? 0% Does it tell about things that happen all the time or at any time? ss: at any time. What percentage do "usually, often,sometimes" give? ss: 80%,60%,40%. - Write on WB some examples: I always get up at 7.00 am. She is sometimes late for school. They don't usually have dinner together. Do they often sleep early? underline the adverbs and verbs in each sentence. Elicit that we put the adv. before a common v. but we put them after v "to be".Ask CCQS Where do we place advbs. after or before common v? ss: before Do we place advbs before V "to be"? ss: No, after it. - Go through the rest of ex. and drill pronunciation - Clarify form in affirmative, negative and question.
Hand out worksheets to ss. Tell ss to: work in pairs to answer Ex. 1 in their worksheets.you have 3m. write your answers clearly. Ask ICQS: What Ex are you going to answer? Ex 1 Will you answer orally or written? written . how many mintues do you have? 3m Ex.1 choose the correct answer: 1 She isn't always / never happy. 2 Are / Do they usually at home? 3 I usually go / go usually shopping in the afternoon. 4 How sometimes / often do you go to the cinema? 5 He doesn't usually / usually doesn't get up early.

Monitor from a distance . give correction when they make mistakes placing advbs.
Divide the class into pairs or groups of three and give each group a set of cards. Ask them to shule the cards and then put them face down on the desk. Explain that the cards consist of ten questions and ten answers. Students take turns to pick up two cards and try to ind a matching question and sentence. If they don’tmatch, the cards are returned face down. If they match, the student keeps the cards. The game continues until all the matches are made. The student with the most pairs wins the game. Check answers with the class. Note: If necessary, the game can be made easier by keeping the questions and answers in separate groups. Answers How oten do you go to the cinema? Every week.
