Editor’s Notes:
Depending on the level of your students, this lesson can be broken up (by doing one page per day, for example) or completed all at once.
You could follow up by using our Daily Routines flashcard set. Have students pick up a flashcard and make a sentence using “I” + a simple future verb (e.g., I am going to eat breakfast), or use the flashcards in an action guessing game (e.g., A: What am I going to do tomorrow? [mimes brushing hair] B: You are going to brush your hair). https://esllibrary.com/flashcard_genres/4/flashcard_categories/27
