Hey  Teachers!



I recently published an updated free lesson plan on Fluentize based on a short informational video from Business Insider about the morning routines of some famous billionaires.



I would say this lesson plan is probably most suitable for intermediate (B1) - upper intermediate (B2) students.



In order to view the video, please visit the lesson page on Fluentize via the link below.

I've recreated the lesson plan here and attached the first half of the lesson up to the Viewing Activity. You can download the full PDF lesson plan with all of the post-viewing activities directly from Fluentize for free when you're registered and logged in.



As you'll see in the lesson plan, students discuss topics and questions related to morning routines and what kinds of morning habits are good or bad to do as part of a routine. Students also learn some of the important phrases that they'll hear in the video such as make something a priority, get right to work, and stay true to a brand.



There is a short grammar activity on the usage of indirect and direct speech, which seemed to be pretty prevalent as a grammatical theme in several cases throughout the video, including...



"Warren Buffet likes to sleep. He says he usually sleeps a full 8 hours a night."



"Jack Dorsey says he gets out of bed at 5 AM."



You can follow everything up with additional discussion based on some of the following topics...



- Whether students make it a priority to get a full 8 hours of sleep per night



- Whether students think it's better to read news stories in the morning or read a book



- What students would think the pros and cons would be of being a billionaires



From the creator’s standpoint, my favorite part of the lesson is the second speaking task on Post-Viewing 3 after the discussion topics mentioned above, as it gives students a chance to not only learn some healthy new habits, but practice explaining why certain habits are good for them. I especially enjoy doing lessons in which you can teach actual life skills as a natural result of the topic you're covering!



I hope you have a great lesson exploring the topic of morning routines with your students! I've attached the full materials for the printable, interactive, and teacher's guide below.



Thanks and enjoy the lesson!
