Show them pictures of the person or people who are: cleaning, playing, eating, running, walking, reading, praying, etc.

Pick one picture after another; show to them by pointing to the particular picture and ask:

For each question, observe and correct their responses.

Allow students to interview each other these questions. Put them in pairs and help them list the things they do on the blackboard.

A Text

Read this text aloud for the first time and ask students some oral questions.

Agatha is a hardworking student. She goes to sleep at 9:00 pm. She gets up early in the morning at 6:30 am. She takes a bath at 6:40 am. At 6:50 am, she runs to school. She greets her friends and teacher. Then, at 7:00 am, she cleans her place. At 7:30, she attends the school parade. And at 8:00, she enters the class.
