I will put some pictures of the household chores on the board and ask each student what is their most and least favorite chore.
I will show them the text and ask them to read it for a couple of minutes. then give them the handout with the comprehension questions and divide them into groups to work on answering these questions. I then listen to their answers and ask them more CCQs to make sure they understand the text.
Write two sentences form the text and ask the students some detailed questions to try to come up with the form for the language.
Elicit the language by writing a sustenance on the board and asking them about each word's position in the sentence while writing them down. Then I read the sentence and ask them about the stress and intonations. and write them down. We elicit the negative form and then drill the sentences together.
Show them the text again and ask them to each say the sentence that has present simple talking about daily routine. then I give them the handout with fill in the gaps practice. while monitoring them from behind.
Ask the students each to write a short paragraph about their daily routine using their favorite chores as examples. then I put them in pairs and each pair tell each other their daily routine. I ask the students to correct each other if needed. then ask each pair to talk about their friends' daily routine.
