📅 Days of the Week: 'What day is it today?'

A fully interactive A1 Teens vocabulary-and-speaking lesson built around a familiar theme — the seven days of the week. Students warm up with four reflection questions about their week, then study a colourful day strip showing all seven days with simple phonetic pronunciation hints (e.g. Wednesday = WENZ-day), and learn the difference between weekdays (Monday–Friday) and the weekend (Saturday + Sunday). A question-and-answer block teaches 'What day is it today?' answered with 'It's + day', plus today, tomorrow, and yesterday. A usage table covers 'on' + day (on Monday / on Mondays), 'at the weekend', and the rule that days always take a capital letter. Nine essential phrases are chipped for quick memorisation. The reading is an original first-person story by Marco, a fourteen-year-old describing his busy weekdays and free weekend; every day name and key word is bolded and tooltipped. Ten A1 vocabulary items appear in a horizontally-scrollable table with part of speech, definition, and example, and six core words get detailed flashcards. Practice includes 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank questions (day order, question/answer forms, 'on', capitalisation) with hints, live validation, and score tracking; a speaking task about the student's own week with partner prompts and a model dialogue; a guided writing task with a five-point checklist and live word counter; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz with progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
