Description

In this lesson, the Ss will learn 6 daily routine verbs. The lesson starts with a mime activity to elicit vocabulary. The Ss will then practice pronunciation through drilling and then do an individual matching activity. After that, the Ss will work in pairs to put the routine verbs in order and then do a group work activity to practice the form. The last part of the lesson will focus on the receptive skill reading and the sub skill reading for gist. To end the lesson, in groups the Ss will decide whether they are a morning person or a night person.
