Are you a timebender or timekeeper?

Time to work out why one of your students is always late. Today you’ll be talking about the reasons behind some individuals’ chronic lateness and then discuss the importance or lack of punctuality in modern day life with this ESL discussion worksheet.

If you like warmers (it’s basically my favorite part of the lesson), you can start off by asking your students about how they feel when their plane has been delayed at the airport and what do they do to pass the time.

Start by distributing the PDF to your students, and then watch the video below once or twice.
