Partner Work Appointment Clocks

Need a quick way to get students paired for partner work? Use the blank clock on the next page to

set up hourly appointments.

Directions

•

Make one copy of the blank clock for each student.

•

Review expressions of time in the target language.

•

Model expressions students will need to complete this activity.

"Are you free at noon?"

"No, I'm sorry, I'm busy."

"At what time are you free?"

"I'm free at 2 o'clock. Can we meet at 2 o'clock?"

"Yes, I'm free at 2 o'clock."

Tell students to draw a clock hand for each of the twelve hours.

Direct students to speak only in the target language.

Explain that they are to move around the classroom, making appointments with twelve different

students. When the student find a classmate who can meet at the agreed upon hour, each student

signs the other's clock. Be sure that students understand that they will make only one

appointment for each hour and that they are both to sign for the same hour.

Tell the students to keep the completed clock in their notebooks so

that they will have access to it each day.

When you plan a paired activity, simply direct the students to quickly find their "2 o'clock

appointment" and to sit together with this student. If a partner is absent, students may sit with

another student whose partner is absent or you may wish to have the student work with others as a

group of three.
