Activity idea: After reading, have students discuss their own family’s daily routines or write about it for homework
This handout accomplishes two tasks: it teaches students the basics of telling time and it gets them talking!
After reading through the explanation with your students, have them complete the two conversation practice exercises.
A. In the first exercise, students must tell their partner with time it is (they are each given six times of day each including am/pm times) The person asking for the time should record the answers so that after both students have read aloud their times the students can compare lists to see if they were correct!
B. In the second exercise, students practice asking and answering at what time specific events occur such as mealtimes, classes etc. The other student answers for themselves. Students should ask at least three questions each.
NOTE: I have included two versions of this activity one which takes up less paper (students can use scrap paper or not record answers) and one with two pages to record the answers. 24 Hour clock NOT included.
