Mastering the Present Simple: Daily Routine Writing

Introduction – Daily Routine Circles (5 minutes)

Total Time: 5 minutes

Begin with a quick activity where students form small circles and take turns sharing one part of their daily routine using present simple verbs (e.g., 'I wake up at 7 AM'). To reinforce the structure, they must repeat the previous students' routines before adding their own. This engaging exercise activates prior knowledge and establishes comfort with speaking in the present simple.

Core Activities – Daily Routine Role Play (10 minutes)

Total Time: 10 minutes

Split students into pairs. Each pair picks a character (e.g., a teacher, a student, a chef). They will then role-play a dialogue that incorporates at least five present simple verbs related to daily routines. After practicing, pairs will perform their skits briefly to the class. Encourage students to focus on pronunciation and correct verb forms.

Wrap-Up Assessment – Daily Routine Comic Strip (5 minutes)

Total Time: 5 minutes

For a quick assessment, students will create a mini comic strip that illustrates their own daily routine in simple drawings accompanied by text bubbles using the present simple tense (e.g., 'I brush my teeth.' with a drawing of someone brushing their teeth). Students will share their comic strips with a partner or display them on a bulletin board to reflect their understanding of the lesson.
