LESSON PLAN

OBJECTIVES

Using reflexive verbs to talk about your daily routine
Saying at what time these actions take place

A verb is reflexive when it expresses an action that refers back to the subject e.g.
Mi lavo (lit. I wash myself) Mi riposo (lit. I rest myself). You can recognize a reflexive verb (sul dizionario) by looking at the infinitive form. If the syllable of the infinitive is -si (oneself), then the verb is reflexive. When you conjugate a reflexive verb you must change the last syllable -si with -mi (myself) -ti (yourself) etc. : Lavarsi (to wash oneself) Mi lavo, ti lavi, si lava etc.
See Italianissimo p.85, 87, 56 (What's it like?)

Attenzione: do not assume every verb that describes your daily routine is reflexive
Faccio la colazione (I have breakfast)
Vado al lavoro (I go to work) etc.

Compito per casa (Homework): in classe describe your daily routine and say what you do for living.
