Teacher presents the lesson objectives, explains students what they would be able to do by the end of this lesson.

1.Warm-up. Present Simple Review

Present the 'get up' flash card in one hand, the 7 o'clock flashcard in the other hand and say very clearly 'I get up at 7 o'clock'. You may also like to mime the action.

Encourage choral repetition, then individual repetition. You may need to say the model sentence a few times before getting them to repeat it. Ask different students 'What about you?' 'What time do you get up?' Elicit answers from different students in the class. Shyer children could come to the board to choose the appropriate flash card and stick it next to the 'get up' flash card.

Ask 'What time do you get up on Sunday?' and get answers. Present the other flash cards in the same way. Stick them on the board as you present and mime each one so that there is a time flash card opposite each activity card.
