Making and changing plans

• Are you free on Thursday?木曜日、空いてる？
• Something's come up.急な用事ができちゃって。
• Can we reschedule?日程を変えられる？
• Let me check my schedule.予定を確認するね。

1. 1. Warm-up (5 min)

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

   • How busy is your week?
   • How do you remember your plans?

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.

   Two different calendars (yours and theirs) — find a time that works for both, then the tutor cancels and they must reschedule.

4. 4. Role-play (10 min)

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

   🎭 Rescheduling a dinner with a friend because of work.

5. 5. Free talk (5 min)

   Use the discussion questions for free conversation.

   • Are you a planner or spontaneous?
   • What do you do when someone is always late?

6. 6. Wrap-up (5 min)

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