Daily Routine + Simple Present: Affirmative and Negative forms

 Welcome to This Week's English Class Blog!

 Hello, dear readers! Thank you for joining me once again. This week in our English class, we explored two essential topics. My group had the pleasure of teaching Vocabulary of Daily Routine, helping everyone familiarize themselves with words and phrases that describe everyday activities. Meanwhile, Celeste’s group covered the Simple Present Tense, focusing on its affirmative and negative forms. Stay tuned as we dive deeper into these topics in the coming posts!

Daily Routine Vocabulary

Teachers from left to right: Alison, Herber, Asael, Iliana and Génesis

Iliana set the tone for our class with an energetic game of Charades. Each student had the chance to pick a flashcard depicting a daily routine and act it out, while the rest of the class enthusiastically guessed. This fun and engaging activity broke the ice and helped everyone recall prior knowledge of daily routines, reinforcing the vocabulary we were about to explore.

After the warm-up, Alison took the lead in teaching daily routine vocabulary. She provided clear examples to help students understand how to use phrases like wake up, get up, take a shower, brush my teeth, go to school, go to sleep, and many more. These examples helped bring the vocabulary to life, making it easier for everyone to grasp and apply in real-life situations.

Next, I took the floor with two engaging activities. For the first one, each student received a worksheet with mixed-up sentences describing a daily routine. As I read a correctly structured routine aloud, the students had to listen carefully and rearrange the sentences on their worksheets to match the proper order. This activity challenged them to focus on sentence structure while reinforcing the vocabulary we had just learned.

For the second activity, the students worked on a more interactive task. They were given a worksheet with a table where they had to interview three classmates. The goal was to write down at least one activity each student does during the morning, afternoon, and evening using the vocabulary we had just learned. This exercise encouraged communication and helped solidify the new terms through real-life applications.

For the production activity, Herber took charge and led an exciting group task. He presented each group with a scenario, giving them the option to either create a story about a daily routine or act it out in a roleplay. The groups enthusiastically embraced the challenge, showcasing their creativity and teamwork. Some groups came up with imaginative stories, while others performed lively roleplays that had everyone engaged and laughing. It was not only a fun way to wrap up the lesson but also an excellent opportunity for students to put their newly learned vocabulary into practice dynamically and memorably.

To wrap up the session, Asael delivered an insightful conclusion on the importance of learning daily routine vocabulary. He explained that knowing how to talk about daily activities isn’t just useful for communication, but it also helps in becoming more organized in everyday life. By clearly understanding and expressing routines, we can plan our days more effectively, manage our time better, and set consistent habits. Asael highlighted how this vocabulary allows us to share details about our lives with others and better understand the routines of people around us, making it an essential tool for both personal and social interaction.

Present Simple: Negative and Affirmative Form

Celeste’s group taught us about the present simple tense, focusing on both affirmative and negative forms. They provided clear examples, like “She goes to school” (affirmative) and “She doesn’t go to school” (negative), helping us understand how to structure sentences correctly. Their explanations made it easy to follow the rules for using the present simple in different contexts.

After the lesson, we were given worksheets to complete, practicing the correct use of the present simple in both its affirmative and negative forms. To wrap up the class, we played a fun game of Kahoot, testing what we had learned engagingly and interactively!

Both lessons this week—vocabulary of daily routines and the present simple tense—were packed with engaging activities that helped us practice and reinforce our skills. From mimicking daily routines to organizing sentences and playing Kahoot, we had plenty of opportunities to apply what we learned in fun and interactive ways.

Thank you for following along with this week’s class update! I hope you found these insights helpful. Stay tuned for more learning adventures and see you next week!
