Teacher Guide
Revise the days of the week then help the students to construct each sentence following the structure of the example.
They need to insert the verb 'to be' in the correct form (checking which pronoun is used to understand which form to use).
Remind them to add 'ING' to form the present continuous of each verb. They'll need to be shown that 'dancing' loses the 'e'.
