As Busy As A Bee - August 08, 2022
Lesson Collection #5 - Lesson 13
Your English class will be so busy with this lesson that students may forget they are practicing the use of ordinals, prepositions and verb tenses. In groups of three, students first create their own schedules, then ask their partners questions to discover their schedules.
Students not only have to find the dates on which their partners are doing things, but they also have to find what they are doing.
When finished, partners should have an exact duplicate of each of their partners' schedules on their worksheet. They use that duplicate to confirm their partners' schedules.
The Teachers' Instructions include several suggestions as to how to make this lesson more appropriate for higher ability students as well.
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Dear Kurt,
Feel free to quote me on this! I have found your lessons to be the most useful of all that I have found on the Net! The teacher’s guidance makes presenting the lessons a doddle and the students’ pages are fun, varied, stimulating, exciting and always of interest to my students.
I am a freelance EFL teacher and the students vary from Austrian teenagers, on school trips to London, to adults at a language centre. Your lessons are especially useful for the latter group as I often get called upon to cover a class at the last minute!
Keep the lessons coming please, Kurt - and many, many thanks!
Toni
Hey Kurt,

Hi Kurt,
That’s one of the greatest ESL sites on the web (the best one when it comes to activities).

Hi Kurt,
Your customer service is excellent and I think you have a great product. I am using the lessons and I love the fact that I have ready made materials and instructions. These lessons are so great for teaching privately, in institutes and also add to my classroom themes in university.
Keep up the good work.
Kay
