Teacher Guide
This is a review of the days of the week which they will probably already know, but it is also practice for answering questions in complete sentences. They need to pay attention to the verb 'to be' used in the question, and use it correctly in the answer. It's also a review of the words 'today', 'tomorrow', 'yesterday', 'before', 'after' and 'between'.
10mins: Introduction - Beginner questions 'What's your name, how old are you, where are you from'. Ask each student to say one thing they've got at their flat.
10mins: Review: Has got/ have got - Have each student say one thing they've got in their bedroom. Then, have the students try to say what each classmate has. (E.g. She's got a doll, he's got legos).
10mins: Pre-teach: before and after - Using the 'Days of the Week' flashcards, have each student secretly choose a card. Then the students must work together to put themselves in the correct order. After the students are in order, have them use 'before' and 'after' to describe their position.
