LESSON OVERVIEW

The main objectives of this lesson plan for A1 English learners are to:

• learn and practise morning routine vocabulary;
• explore adverbs of frequency to talk about habits and behaviours;
• share personal routines and discuss the routines of others.

With this lesson plan for A1 English learners, students discuss what they do in the morning! They learn morning routine vocabulary and practise their listening skills. Students also learn and practise adverbs of frequency (often, usually, never, sometimes, in the evening). They share their own routines and guess their teacher’s and their classmates’ habits! Students also discuss morning habits around the world and give some insights about their own country.

WARM-UP AND VOCABULARY

This lesson plan for A1 English learners begins with a warm-up. Students look at a word cloud and choose three words that describe the word ‘morning’ to them. After that, they use words from the word cloud to complete multiple phrases about morning routines (e.g. drink coffee, make coffee; learn English, learn the guitar). Following that, learners read some sentences describing various morning routines and complete them with the correct phrases. Afterwards, students look at some morning routine activities and choose which ones they do in the morning. They put them in order and write five sentences about themselves. Next, students listen to some recordings and match the professions to the speakers. Then, they read some statements and listen to the recordings again to see if the statements are true or false.

ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY AND DISCUSSION

This part of the lesson for A1 English learners focuses on adverbs of frequency (often, usually, never, sometimes, in the evening). Students read sentences from the recordings and put them on a scale of how often people do something. After that, students read some information about the people and guess who the main sentence is about based on the adverbs of frequency. Following that, they use the adverbs of frequency to describe their own habits. Next, students describe some pictures using morning routine vocabulary and adverbs of frequency. They also have to write three sentences guessing their teacher’s morning routine. Then, students tell their partner how often they do certain things in the morning. Together, they find two things that are the same for both of them and share them with the class. After that, students complete statements about morning habits around the world with the correct word. The lesson finishes with an exercise in which students write some sentences about people in their country.

HOMEWORK/REVISION

This lesson plan also includes an additional task that you can use as homework or revision. Students need to write seven sentences using some words in the boxes. The task is available in the teacher’s version of the worksheet. You can print it and hand it out to your students. It’s also included in the e-lesson plan.
