T writes SS's students (for each calendar page) on the board and then replace the days and times with adverbs.makes more examples and then teaches that these sentences are questioned by' how often'. now she asks questions 'how often do you..' to check they understand.
SS are given a controlled practice, in which they are replacing time expressions with adverbs. T asks SS to do it in pairs, sets a time limit, then correct answers are shown on the board and T asks SS to explain their answers.
If time allows they will play a board race. T attach pages of calendars on the board and asks SS to stand in lines of 3 or 4. then T will call an adverb of time they've just learned, and SS in the front row is going to find and take the page that matches the adverb. then the from row goes back and second goes forward and the same thing repeats till all the pages are taken, who grabs more is the winner.
T shows Photos to teach the new words,After vocabulary is taught, T divided the class into two groups and put a set of paper on the floor,face down, for each group. then asks SS to turn the papers as she says 'go' and put the words in order to make a trip to cinema, and attach it to the board. the group that finishes sooner, is the winner. this activity is a review of what they learned as vocabulary, they have to match the words to form the phrases, they learned in the previous stage, and again organize them to form a trip, so it's going to challenge what they learned, again. after the winner is announced, the correct order will be on the board and T checks their trip order, and asks for explanations if the orders are different.
