21st Century Dad
This Part of the assignment focuses on stage 5 of an elementary reading lesson.
Bobbie and Moira Fernandez got married 6 years ago when they were 24 years old. Their daughter, Addison,
was born 3 years later. Their baby son, Remy, is 15 months old.
Bobbie worked in a library, and Moira is an engineer. Moira loves her work, so Bobbie left his job. He stays at
home with the children. We asked Bobbie about his day.
“Well, we get up when Remy wakes us up, which is usually at about half past six in the morning. Moira takes
a shower and has breakfast while I look after the children. Moira leaves the house at 7.30. Addison's

To start the follow-on activities, the teacher will write
below the title into three parts writing in the morning/ in the afternoon/in the evening (creating the similar
speaking card that the students will be working with). Then, in order to model the activity, the teacher tells the
students that she is going to tell them something about her personal experience, about her normal weekday
and what she usually does during the day. The goal is to show the students that this activity has meaning by
presenting it in meaningful context and connect it to real life situations. That is to say, the teacher tries to
make students realize that this activity is meaningful as well as functional.
