This document provides a lesson plan for a primary school English class. The lesson aims to help students develop their communicative skills by asking and answering questions about routines using the interrogative word "How often" and adverbs of frequency. The 80-minute lesson includes a warm-up activity revising adverbs of frequency by watching a video. Students then practice the new target language of "How often" questions through copying examples, asking each other questions, and completing exercises in their workbooks and coursebook. The teacher uses a PPP approach and ICT such as a video to engage students and assess their understanding of asking and answering "How often" questions.

they need to come to the desk to ask something or to complete some exercise on the
board.
 Cooperative work
- They could help when they work in pairs.
 Assessment:
- I will assess them when they can make a question with How often and answer it
with an adverb.(When they associate the use of the interrogative word with
the adverbs)

When I go into the classroom, students are sitting on their chairs, they stand up and we
greet.

(if it is necessary I will show the video again while they answer the questions
if they don´t remember the correct answer)

2) Does she get up at seven o´clock?

3. 3) Does she have breakfast with her family?
4) Does she play tennis?

the board:

- After I will show them the chart they will make sentences with the adverbs,
for example:
