WARM-UP & VIDEO
As an optional warm-up activity, the teacher can ask students to give examples of some habits, e.g. a daily habit most people have or a habit many people want to give up. This brainstorming activity will prepare students for talking about habits. Then, students choose a topic from a list and share some details about it. The topics include: ‘my healthy habits’ and ‘my daily work habits’. After that, students look at some habits and discuss when they might be good or bad for someone. The habits include having a morning routine and watching the news every day. After the discussion, students watch the first ad and share their thoughts about it. They also talk about forming new habits and routines.
TALKING ABOUT HABITS
In this part of the lesson, students look at a list of tips for forming new habits. They discuss if they might work or not. They are also encouraged to share their experience with creating new habits. Some of the ideas they discuss include trying something new for thirty days and adding a new habit to an existing one. After that, students read about some problems people have (e.g. with quitting smoking or not doing enough exercise) and say what they would do in each situation. The teacher can also ask their students whether they have been in similar situations as the people from the texts. Students can share some details to further practise talking about habits and their formation. Finally, students watch the second ad and talk about how technology is a part of their daily routine. Finally, students consider what their daily life and routine would be like without technology.
