Lesson Plan | Teachy Methodology | Daily Activities Time Scales

Objectives

Duration: 10 - 15 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to provide a clear insight into what will be learned during the lesson, establishing precise objectives that will guide the teaching and learning process. This will allow both the teacher and the students to maintain focus on the main aspects of the theme, ensuring a complete and contextualized understanding of time distribution and daily activities.

Main Objectives

1. Understand the distribution of time throughout the day and identify the main parts of the day (morning, afternoon, night).

2. Relate different daily activities to the times of day when they occur.

Side Objectives

1. Develop the ability to organize simple time sequences.

Introduction

Duration: 15 - 20 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to establish an initial context for the lesson's theme, using elements from the students' digital reality to engage them actively and participatively. By seeking interesting facts about the topic, students will be exercising curiosity and research, as well as beginning to reflect on time distribution in their own lives and in other cultures. The initial debate with key questions will help consolidate prior knowledge and prepare the ground for the following practical activities, promoting a deeper and contextualized understanding of the theme.

Warming Up

To start the lesson, introduce the theme 'Time Scales in Daily Activities' in a simple and engaging way. Explain to the students that, just like in a computer game or on a social network, our day is divided into different 'phases' or 'periods'. Each of these periods is filled with specific activities that we carry out. Then, ask the students to use their cell phones to find an interesting fact about how different cultures around the world organize their daily time. This will encourage curiosity and individual research, connecting the theme to the students' digital reality.

Initial Reflections

1. What are the main periods of the day?

2. What activities do you do in the morning, afternoon, and night?

3. How do you think other cultures organize their daily activities?

4. How can the use of mobile phones and social networks interfere with the organization of our time?

5. Why is it important to organize activities throughout the day?

Development

Duration: 60 - 75 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to provide practical and interactive learning about the distribution of time throughout the day and how different activities fit into each period. By using digital and technological methodologies, students will engage creatively and collaboratively, reinforcing content in a playful and contextualized way.

Activity Suggestions

It is recommended that only one of the suggested activities be carried out

Activity 1 - Digital Diary: Time Influencers! 📱

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Empower students to understand the distribution of time throughout the day by creating a digital narrative using tools that are part of their daily lives.

- Description: Students will divide into groups and create posts in the form of 'stories' for a fictional social network, sharing a typical day in their lives, highlighting the activities they perform at different times of the day (morning, afternoon, night). Each group can use video and image editing apps to make their 'stories' more interesting and interactive.

- Instructions:

• Divide the students into groups of no more than 5 people.

• Explain that each group must create a sequence of 'stories' for a fictional social network, showing a typical day in their lives.

• Use video and image editing apps to create the 'stories'.

• Each 'story' should represent a period of the day (morning, afternoon, night) and the activities performed during that period.

• Encourage creativity by using emojis, filters, and popular music.

• After creation, each group will present its sequence to the class.

• Promote a discussion on how different activities fit into different parts of the day and how the use of mobile phones can influence time organization.

Activity 2 - Digital Treasure Hunt: Exploring Time ⏰

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Stimulate research, curiosity, and teamwork using digital methodology to reinforce understanding of time distribution and daily activities.

- Description: Students will participate in a 'Digital Treasure Hunt' where they will solve puzzles related to time distribution and everyday activities. Each clue will lead to an online resource (video, image, article) that will help understand better how we organize our day.

- Instructions:

• Divide the students into groups of no more than 5 people.

• Explain that the activity is a 'Digital Treasure Hunt' that tests knowledge about time distribution throughout the day.

• Provide the first clue that leads to an online resource (for example, a video about the importance of organizing the morning).

• Students must solve the puzzle, access the resource, and extract the necessary information to obtain the next clue.

• Each subsequent clue will lead to different resources (images, articles, blogs, etc.) that address other periods of the day.

• The group that solves all the puzzles and finds the 'treasure' first wins.

• Promote a final conversation about what they learned about the distribution of activities throughout the day.

Activity 3 - Gamification: Time Journey 🕹

> Duration: 60 - 70 minutes

- Objective: Familiarize students with basic programming concepts while reinforcing understanding of time distribution and daily activities.

- Description: Students will create a simple game in Scratch, where the objective is to organize the character's activities throughout the day. They will program the character to perform specific actions in different scenarios representing morning, afternoon, and night.

- Instructions:

• Divide the students into groups of no more than 5 people.

• Introduce the Scratch platform and explain how it can be used to create simple games.

• Each group should think about the activities their character will perform throughout the day and program them in Scratch.

• The game's scenarios must represent morning, afternoon, and night, and the activities must be specific to each period.

• Encourage students to use commands for sound, movement, and appearance to make the game more interactive.

• After creation, each group will present its game to the class and allow other groups to play.

• Promote a discussion on how time distribution was represented in the game and the importance of daily organization.

Feedback

Duration: 20 - 25 minutes

The purpose of this stage is to consolidate the knowledge acquired during the lesson and promote individual and collective reflection on the learning. Through discussion and feedback, students will have the opportunity to evaluate their performance, recognize their contributions, and better understand how they can improve their time organization and teamwork.

Group Discussion

For the group discussion, ask each group to share the activities they carried out and the discoveries they made during the lesson. Use the following script to guide the discussion: Each group should quickly explain what they did in their specific activity (Digital Diary, Digital Treasure Hunt, or Gamification). Ask what the main challenges encountered during the activities were. Encourage students to share a new learning they had about time distribution and daily activities.

Reflections

1. What did you learn about how to organize your time throughout the day? 2. How did technology help or hinder the completion of the proposed activities? 3. What changes would you make to your daily routine after this lesson?

360° Feedback

Instruct students to conduct 360° feedback, where each group member gives constructive feedback to their peers. Guide them to ensure that feedback is specific about collaboration, creativity, and contribution during the activity. For example, they can use phrases like 'I liked your idea of... because...' or 'You helped a lot when...'. Ensure that the environment is respectful and that everyone feels comfortable sharing their opinions.

Conclusion
