Speaking: To develop conversational skills, allowing students to ask and answer questions about time in both formal and informal contexts ("What time is it?", "Could you tell me the time, please?"). Listening: To improve listening comprehension skills, enabling students to recognize and accurately identify time mentioned in audio materials or by the teacher. Reading/Writing: To practice reading and writing down times correctly, including reading digital time (15:45) as analog (a quarter to four).

Teacher: "Good morning, class! I have a riddle for you. Listen carefully: 'I have a face and two hands, but no arms or legs. I run all day but never walk. I tell you something important all day long. What am I?' (A clock). Let's think. What on my wall gives us this information? (Points to clock). Yes! Today, our goal is to become time-telling experts in English. Why is it useful to learn this?" (Elicits: for school, meetings, TV schedule, travel). | Students listen to the riddle. They think and raise hands to guess. They share hypotheses: "Is it a sun?", "A watch?", "A clock!". They discuss the importance of telling time. |
Descriptors: The student participates in solving the riddle, offers a logical hypothesis, and states one reason for learning to tell time. No points. |
