Activity 1a Look, listen and repeat. 5 min

Objective: to introduce the new words

STEP 1: Tell the pupils that during Unit 7 they learned to

say what they do at a particular time of a day. explain that today they are going to get a little more specific. Ask the pupils to say in their mother tongue what they usually do in the morning before they go to school. elicit the words in the mother tongue: make a bed, do (my) morning exercises, wash (my) face and hands, get dressed, comb (my) hair.

Then ask the pupils to say in their mother tongue what they usually do in the afternoon after they come from school. elicit the words in the mother tongue:

have lunch, do homework. Write the English equivalents next to

the elicited words.

STEP 2: Read the words one by one and ask the pupils to

repeat after you in chorus, in pairs and individually. Then say the first word aloud and mime it. (example: Mime combing your hair and have the pupils guess and say the activity in the mother tongue). After you get a satisfactory answer, draw the pupils’ attention to the English words on the board or word cards and have them guess pointing to each word. Ask the pupils to pronounce in chorus, in pairs and individually.

STEP 3: Play the DVD. The pupils watch the scenes first.

Then ask them to say what activities they can see in the mother tongue. Play the DVD the second time having pupils repeat the words and structures in chorus, in pairs and individually.

DVD:a scene of an early morning. birds are singing. The clock is pointing to 6.00. Then the following sentence is said: ‘I get up in the morning’; another scene where a boy is making his bed, then the sentence is said: ‘imake my bed,’ etc.
