5. Practicing the Language:

- Assign writing tasks such as filling out a daily routine or describing favorite
activities using the new vocabulary.

Fill out a Daily Routine:

Provide a template or guide for students to fill out their daily routines using the
vocabulary words. For example:
Wake up at ____. (7:00 a.m).

- Provide feedback on written work and encourage creativity in language use.

6. Using the Language:

"Show and Tell" activities using mime to represent daily routines or favorite
activities can be a fun and engaging way for students to express themselves without
relying solely on spoken language. Here's how you can organize such an activity:
Instructions:

Explain to students that they will be using mime (gestures and actions without
speaking) to represent their daily routines or favorite activities and his classmates
will have to guess what daily activity he refers to.

7. Consolidation:

- Provide additional resources for self-study and practice outside of class.

Speaking and Pronunciation Practice:

Share recordings or videos of native speakers talking about their daily routines or
activities. Encourage students to imitate the pronunciation and intonation patterns.
