I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
- say and read the times six o’clock, six fifteen, six thirty and six forty-five correctly;
- read the time from the hands of a clock (long hand = minutes, short hand = hours);
- ask and answer the question What time is it? with It is / It’s + time, reading the hour first and then the minutes.
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and say the time expressions, use the question What time is it? and the answer It is six thirty in pairs, and write two turns of the dialogue.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four time expressions (six fifteen, six thirty, six forty-five, six o’clock), know the vocabulary meaning, and use the structure It is + time.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss keep their attention on the model, check their own clock reading with the picture, and cover the word list to test their memory without help.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to ask and answer What time is it? and take turns as the ‘clock reader’ and the ‘checker’.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss work out the time from the position of the clock hands and change the time in the dialogue to make a new one.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss practise the time expressions carefully, repeat until they pronounce them clearly, and finish the worksheet on time.
Responsibility: Ss complete their partner task honestly, check their partner’s reading and give useful feedback.
