⏱️ 50-minute lesson plan

  1. 1. Warm-up (5 min)

    Check last homework. Ask the warm-up questions to relax.

    • What time did you get up today?
    • How do you go to work or school?
  2. 2. Input (10 min)

    Introduce the key phrases one by one. The student repeats each 3 times; check meaning (short Japanese is OK).

  3. 3. Practice (15 min)

    Run the unit's practice activity. Maximize student talking time.

    Put picture cards of a routine in order; the student narrates their own day using first, then, after that.

  4. 4. Role-play (10 min)

    Tutor plays the other person. Praise when the key phrases are used; fix only 2 things afterwards.

    🎭 Interview for a 'Day in the life' video: the tutor asks, the student answers.

  5. 5. Free talk (5 min)

    Use the discussion questions for free conversation.

    • What do you do after work?
    • What do you do on weekends?
    • What is your favorite time of day?
  6. 6. Wrap-up (5 min)

    Review today's phrases and give the homework. Write the lesson note right after.

    📌 Write your day in 6 sentences using first and then自分の1日を6文で書く(first, then を使う)

25-minute lessons: skip step 5 and shorten steps 3 and 4.
