To make the learning process more interesting, the lessons include a range of audio-visual aids such as PowerPoint slides, songs and videos. The topics chosen are related to students\u2019 own daily lives. Students are asked to conduct an interview with their classmates to find out each other\u2019s weekly activities and the frequencies. They then have to conduct a class survey to find out the most popular weekly activities among themselves. &nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Level of Students: Senior Primary&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Lesson Duration: 105 minutes (3 lessons, each lesson is around&nbsp;35 <\/strong><strong style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\">minutes<\/strong><strong>)<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Learning Objectives:<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">At the end of this unit, students should be able to:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Use adverbs of frequency (<em>sometimes<\/em>, <em>always<\/em>,<em> never<\/em>, u<em>sually, often<\/em> and <em>seldom<\/em>) to talk about how frequently they do an activity.<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li><li>\n\t\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Use the simple present tense to ask and describe habitual actions \u201cHow often do you ___________?\u201d \u201cI (adverbs of frequency) _____________________\u201d.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p> <span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Lesson Plan:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lml.eduhk.hk\/grammar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lesson-plan_Present-tense-Senior-Primary.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Present tense (Senior Primary)<\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Teaching Materials:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li> <span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lml.eduhk.hk\/grammar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Worksheet_Present-tense-Senior-Primary.docx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Worksheet<\/a><\/span><\/span> <\/li><li> <span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lml.eduhk.hk\/grammar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/PPT_Present-tense-Senior-Primary.pptx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PPT<\/a><\/span><\/span> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Useful Websites:<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li> <span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learnenglish.britishcouncil.org\/en\/english-grammar\/verbs\/present-tense\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/learnenglish.britishcouncil.org\/en\/english-grammar\/verbs\/present-tense<\/a><\/span> <\/li><li> <span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grammar.cl\/Present\/Simple.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.grammar.cl\/Present\/Simple.htm<\/a><\/span> <\/li><li> <span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.perfect-english-grammar.com\/present-simple-use.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.perfect-english-grammar.com\/present-simple-use.html<\/a><\/span> <\/li><li> <span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myenglishpages.com\/site_php_files\/grammar-lesson-simple-present.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.myenglishpages.com\/site_php_files\/grammar-lesson-simple-present.php<\/a><\/span> <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Acknowledgements:<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">We would like to express our gratitude to&nbsp;Lui Yuen Tung for sending the project team her original lesson plan and allowing us to make modifications to it.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000FF;\">The copyright of the learning materials belongs to The Education University of Hong Kong.
