Learning Through Content

The topic that I chose to teach is about the simple present and the final S/ES

Students have to read a paragraph. Then complete the paragraph about Sam's life using "he" in place of "I". They will need to change the verbs.
Students will know that the present simple tense is used to describe daily activities.

SAM'S DAY:
I leave my apartment ast 8:00 every morning. I walk to the bus stop and catch the 8:10 bus. It takes me downtown. Then I transfer to another bus, and it takes me to my part-time job.I arrive at work at 8:50. I stay until 1:00, and then I leave for school. I attent classes until 5:00. I usually study in the library and try to finish my homework. Then I go home around 8:00. I have a long day.
