Screen slide share of two famous actors (Nicole K. and Leonardo DiCaprio). I will ask students what their daily activities are. Students will have a word bank to express their thoughts about Nicole & Leo´s daily routine. Example: Nicole gets up at 9. Leo starts work at ten. Nicole leaves home at 11. Leo has lunch at 1.
Screen share slide of actress Kari Mitchell. Before we read an interview with actress Kari Mitchell and read about her daily activities, students will be asked to predict her routine.For this purpose I will be using Google-Forms.

Afterwards Students will have the chance to see their answers and correct their predictions, students will be asked to find each answer answers in the text and I will mark them to make them aware of the Target Language.
Share screen slide with all the activities of Kari in a day. Activities will be mixed so I will ask Students to help me order them. Students will read WH questions and will help me match the right answer in the present simple. When does Kari get up? Kari gets up at 4.30 in the morning. When does Kari leave home? She leaves home at 5.30 When does Kari get to work? She gets to the studio at 6.00 When does Kari have breakfast? She has breakfast at 6.15 When does she start work?

I will ask students to help me conjugate the verb leave. I leave, you leave, he/she/it leaves, we, you, they leave. I will highlight the "S" in the 3rd person singular which normally is forgotten. On the next slide students will see the question forms with auxiliary do/does. Kari, do you have friends in L.A?
