Develop students' communicative competence to talk about daily activities.
Difficult Points
Helping students distinguish and correctly use the time prepositions "at", "in", "on", especially in some special cases. For example, the usage of "in the morning/afternoon/evening" and "on + specific morning/afternoon/evening".
Guiding students to use the simple present tense accurately, especially the third - person singular form (he/she/it) in affirmative and negative sentences. For example, "He goes to school by bike." "She doesn't have lunch at home."

Grammar
Time prepositions
"at" is used for specific time points, such as "at 7:00", "at noon", "at night".
"in" is used for longer periods of time, like "in the morning/afternoon/evening", "in January", "in 2024", "in spring/summer/autumn/winter".
"on" is used for specific days or days with specific details, such as "on Monday", "on May 1st", "on a sunny morning".
Simple present tense
Affirmative sentence: Subject + verb (base form or - s/-es for the third - person singular) + other elements. For example, "I play football every day." "He plays the piano well."
Negative sentence: Subject + don't/doesn't + verb (base form) + other elements. For example, "I don't like math." "She doesn't go to school by bus."
Interrogative sentence: Do/Does + subject + verb (base form) + other elements? For example, "Do you like reading?" "Does he get up early?"
教学过程
Step 1: Warming - up (5 minutes)
Greet the students as usual.
Play a short video about a day in the life of a primary school student. After watching, ask students some simple questions, such as "What can you see in the video?" "What does the student do first in the morning?" This activity can quickly arouse students' interest and lead in the topic of daily routines.
Step 2: Revision (8 minutes)
Vocabulary review
Show some pictures of daily activities on the PPT, and ask students to quickly say out the corresponding English words. For example, show a picture of a girl brushing teeth, and students answer "brush teeth".
Conduct a word - spelling competition. Divide the class into several groups. The teacher says a word about daily activities, and each group sends a representative to spell the word on the blackboard. The group that spells correctly and quickly gets one point.
Grammar review
Write some sentences on the blackboard with blanks about the usage of time prepositions and simple present tense. For example, "I get up ____ 6:30." "He ____ (go) to school by bike every day." Ask students to fill in the blanks and explain the reasons.
Step 3: Presentation (10 minutes)
New knowledge presentation
Use a daily schedule form to present new sentence patterns. For example, show a schedule of the teacher's day:
| Time | Activity |
| ---- | ---- |
| 7:00 a.m. | get up |
| 7:30 a.m. | have breakfast |
| 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. | teach English |
Then the teacher says sentences like "I get up at 7:00 a.m. I have breakfast at 7:30 a.m. From 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., I teach English." Let students imitate and practice.
Explain some special usage of time prepositions and simple present tense in more detail. For example, when using "on" with a specific day and a part of the day together, like "on Sunday morning", we use "on". And for the third - person singular in the simple present tense, most verbs add - s, but for verbs ending with - s, - x, - ch, - sh, - o, we add - es, such as "go - goes", "wash - washes".
Pair - work
Ask students to work in pairs. Each pair makes a simple daily schedule of one of them, and then describes it to the partner using the sentence patterns they just learned. For example:
A: What time do you usually get up?
B: I usually get up at 6:45.
A: What do you do after getting up?
B: I wash my face and brush my teeth. Then I have breakfast.
Step 4: Practice (12 minutes)
Listening practice
Play a dialogue about two students' daily lives on the recorder. The dialogue contains information about what they do, when they do it and their likes and dislikes. After the first listening, ask students to answer some general questions, such as "Who are talking in the dialogue?" "What are they talking about?" After the second listening, ask students to fill in a form with specific information, like the time they get up, have breakfast, etc.
Speaking practice
Organize a group discussion. Divide the class into groups of four. Each group member talks about their daily life, including the time of getting up, having meals, going to school, doing homework, etc. Then they compare their daily lives and find out the similarities and differences. For example, "I get up at 6:30. Tom gets up at 7:00. I have breakfast at home, but Tom has breakfast at school."
Reading practice
Hand out a short passage about a foreign student's daily life. The passage contains new words and expressions related to daily routines. Let students read the passage silently first, and then answer some comprehension questions, such as "What time does the foreign student go to school?" "What does he like to do after school?" After that, ask students to underline the key sentences and new words in the passage.
Step 5: Production (5 minutes)
Writing task
Ask students to write a short passage about their own daily lives. They should include at least 5 sentences, using the vocabulary and sentence patterns they have learned in this class. They can also draw a simple picture of their daily activities next to the passage.
Sharing
After students finish writing, ask some students to come to the front of the class and share their passages. The other students listen carefully and can ask questions if they have any.
Step 6: Summary and Homework (5 minutes)
Summary
Summarize the key points of this class with students, including the important vocabulary about daily activities, the usage of time prepositions and simple present tense. Review the sentences and expressions they used to describe daily lives.
Homework
Ask students to make a more detailed daily schedule for themselves in English, and write a short passage to introduce it. They can also add some pictures or stickers to make it more vivid.
Let students search for some information about the daily lives of students in other countries on the Internet, and be ready to share it in the next class.
教学反思
After this 45 - minute class, students should have a better understanding and application of vocabulary, grammar and sentence patterns related to daily routines. Through various activities such as warming - up, revision, presentation, practice and production, students' four - skill abilities (listening, speaking, reading and writing) have been trained to a certain extent.
However, there are still some areas that need improvement. In the teaching process, some students may still have difficulties in using time prepositions correctly, especially in complex situations. For the simple present tense, the third - person singular form may also cause confusion for some students. In the future teaching, more targeted exercises and real - life examples should be provided to help students master these knowledge points better.
In terms of classroom management, during group work and discussions, some students may be less active. Teachers need to pay more attention to these students, encourage them to participate actively, and create a more harmonious and active classroom atmosphere.
In addition, when sharing students' writing and speaking, more in - depth evaluation and feedback should be given. Not only praise students' good performance, but also point out their existing problems and give suggestions for improvement, so as to continuously improve students' English comprehensive ability.
