A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single A1 page with adults or teens. Model short answers before partner work; the questions have no fixed answer key.
- Demonstrate wake up and get up as separate actions. Read the examples of put on, take off and get dressed.
- Ask and answer the eight questions, using times, before or after breakfast and simple transport phrases. Allow an imagined routine.
- Compare routines and repeat useful phrases in complete short sentences. Correct goes to work gently when describing another person.
Support and extension
Support with clock pictures and ordered morning actions. Extend by describing a weekday and Sunday routine; learners need not discuss their family.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
