Steps and techniques

TimingRemarks

1- Review

Draw a spider diagram and ask students to give as many daily activities as they can. Show students a power point slide on daily routines and ask some of them to drill the slides.

Ask them questions about the time when they do certain daily routines to review time. Meanwhile, I will try to focus on prepositions of time. I may write some examples in the blackboard.2- Pre-listening:

I am going to pre-teach these voc-items using a power-point slide or teach them in context by giving examples to elicit them from students. Dialogue n1:
