• Write their responses on the chart paper.

1. Vocabulary Building (10 minutes):

• Introduce vocabulary related to daily routines, such as "wake up," "brush teeth," "eat breakfast," "go to school," "do homework," "play sports," etc.
• Show flashcards or use pictures to help students understand the meaning of each word.

• Monitor and provide support as needed.

1. Whole Class Discussion (10 minutes):

• Bring the class back together and ask a few pairs to share interesting aspects of their partner's daily routine.
• Facilitate a discussion by asking questions like:
• "Who wakes up the earliest?"
• "Who has the most activities after school?"
• "Who has a similar routine to yours?"
• Write down key points on the chart paper to compare and contrast different routines.

1. Conclusion (5 minutes):

• Summarize the lesson by highlighting the importance of having a daily routine and how it helps us stay organized.
• Encourage students to reflect on their own routines and think about any changes they might want to make.
