Objective

By the end of this lesson, Nadia will be able to describe her week using the present simple tense, focusing on the pronouns he, she, and it. She will also learn how to use the prepositions on, in, at, from, and to in her sentences.

Materials and Prep

• Notebook or paper for writing
• Pencil or pen
• Timer (optional for games)
• Whiteboard or chalkboard (if available)

Before the lesson, ensure that Nadia understands the basic structure of present simple sentences and the meanings of the prepositions. A brief review of these concepts may be helpful.

Activities

• Weekly Journal Entry

  Nadia will write a short journal entry describing her week using the present simple tense. She should focus on what she does each day, using sentences like "On Monday, she goes to the park." Encourage her to use various prepositions.

• Preposition Relay

  Create a fun relay game where Nadia must match sentences with the correct prepositions. For example, she could match "She goes to the store" with "to." This can be done with flashcards or written sentences on paper.

• Role-Playing

  Nadia can act out different activities from her week while you guess what she is doing. For example, if she pretends to read a book, you can say, "She is reading a book." This helps reinforce the use of he, she, and it in context.

• Picture Description

  If possible, Nadia can draw or find pictures representing her week (like going to school, playing with friends, etc.). She will then describe each picture using the present simple tense and appropriate prepositions.

Talking Points

• "The present simple tense is used to describe habits or routines. For example, 'She goes to school every day.' Can you think of something you do every week?"
• "Prepositions help us understand the relationship between things. For example, 'She is at home' shows where she is. Can you tell me where you are on the weekend?"
• "When we use 'on,' we usually talk about days: 'On Saturday, she plays soccer.' Let's practice that together!"
• "Using 'in' can refer to months or longer periods: 'In October, it gets cooler.' What month are we in now?"
• "'At' is often used for specific times or places: 'She is at the library.' Where do you like to go?"
• "'From' indicates the starting point, and 'to' shows the destination. For example, 'She goes from home to school.' Can you make a sentence using these words?"
