2. On what days were most of the pupils have different activities? Why?
3. The teacher concludes the pupils’ records, and analyses the results with them.
(For example, the pupils’ schedules are similar from Mondays to Fridays as
these are school days. But the pupils’ schedules are quite different on
Saturdays and Sundays as these are holidays.)

1. In view of pupils’ language ability, pictures can be accepted at this stage. For
example, picture of a television means watching television.
2. If the pupils cannot recall the activities for the whole week, they can focus
on a few days of the week.
