This is the 2nd part of the School Timetable worksheet. Students read the example given. They must then use the timetable and describe various times in the week, for eg. 

Monday afternoon or Friday morning.

Questions like:

What do you do every Friday morning?

What is your favourite day of the week?

Describe your favourite morning.



Vocabulary can be pre-taught. The symbols are an easy way for students to understand the word without having to translate.



Lots of possibilities also to work with prepositions of time (before, after, etc).



Enjoy!



My School Timetable 2

This worksheet is to help each student develop present continuous speaking, reading and writing skills. there will be two seperate groups.The idea is to initiate conversation on an elevator in a professional business manner. The scenario will first partake in the classroom and then on an actual elevator. 

 The objective will be depending on the time of day, the student will either say "Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, How are you?, or which floor?, How is your day going? In the classroom the students will have to act out the scenario.  

Elevator Relfator

Everyone with school-age kids knows the unique joy of trying to get them out the door on time. That makes reading about the O'Malley family's stress pretty easy.



The follow-up questions are pretty clear (to me): How do your students mornings get started? How much should parents worry about getting their kids out the door on time? How much should the kids worry?

O'Malley - 005 - Monday morning

This worksheet ca be done with different age groups, elementary to pre-intermediate level. The students look at the pictures and answer the questions in full sentences.. 

Picture description - Saturday morning

The objectve is to identify the clothes, trace and colour them as it is in the  smaller  picture next to the biggest one. It is a fun activity for first  grade kids.  In this worksheet you practise clothes and colours.

Erica's Schedule 

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.



https://app.fluentize.com/lesson/morning-routines-billionaires



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!

How 9 Billionaires Start Their Mornings - ESL Lesson Plan

Another fun and colourful worksheet. They must cut out the words to complete the sentences above then practice and repeat the sentences. Each word corresponds with a different shape so they'll have no problem!

My Morning Routine - cut and stick

My Morning Routine 2 - cut and paste words

After the 'introductions' worksheet, this is the first *real* story in the series following the O'Malley family. It's a Sunday morning and Mr. O'Malley gets up and lets the kids watch TV so that this wife can sleep.



After students have read this, I tend to ask how they feel about his parenting strategy. Is TV the right way to shut kids up? Should she be waking up? (I should add -- these stories are meant for adults, though there is no 'adult content.')
