Introduce Objective 

Start by introducing the daily objective. By the end of the lesson, they should be able to do this at their proficiency target.

Question

How many days and minutes are there in summer break? 

Answer will be 1440 (minutes in a day) times how many days you have for summer break.

A Typical Day and Summer

Give them the “schedule” sheet and highlighters/markers. On the left, they are going to complete this about a TYPICAL DAY during the summer. On the right, they will add in any trips, camps, or other plans (big/small) that they have for 3 months of summer break.

Highlighting

Highlighting: Give them one example for the categories that can be used. For example, everyone needs to sleep, so they could make the first category “sleep.” Then let them brainstorm the rest of categories they want to use for the highlighting categories.

Hover over the image to reveal suggested categories. Other ideas: courses, work, chores, eating, practice, games, watching tv, playing video games, trips, etc.

Then they will color in the schedule to represent what they will do.

Partner Interpersonal Speaking Task

Partner students up. Give each pair a blank “Summer Schedules” sheet.

Show the sheet. Explain that they will ask each other a question, and then fill in their answers (model this). Lastly they will add the comparison symbol (> = <). This is focused on what a typical day will be in their summer with a few about the the overall summer plans.

Extension: Add “Challenge Cards” with phrases like “daily, weekly, normally, usually, typically, on average, generally, entire, etc” to expand their answers.

Listening

To check their work and to add a listening component, ask a question for each one.

Example for the first one: Who will sleep more than their partner?

Have the person that fits the answer do something like stand up or raise their hand.

Repeat with one of these types of questions:

Who will (action) more than their partner?

Who will (action) less than their partner?

Summary

Let them write up a description and comparison of their summer schedules. Use this for the learning check.

Reflection with the Jar

This is a little touch of SEL and inspiration for them. 

Either show the video and talk over it OR bring in a jar and rocks/sand/water to actually demonstrate it.

The idea is to remind them that there is always time to put in what is important to them. They need to decide what that is.

Check for Learning / Reflect

Use what they wrote for the comparison to see if they can do it at their proficiency target.

If they are using the “Unit Vocabulary Sheet,” give them time to write down what they learned today.

Extension Ideas:

• Teach phrases like: Don’t miss out! Don’t waste your summer! Make the most of your summer!

  When does summer break start? When does it end?

  How will you spend your time?

  Make a pie chart for perfect summer. sleep/work/fun/learn/enrich/try new things/improve self/entertainment/time in transportation     body/soul/mind

  spend more/less/same time doing X in summer vs school
