Review family members and chores vocabulary.Point out that all the members of the family do the chores at home, not just the women.
Ask students if their moms work harder at home than any other member of the family.
Have students make a list of the chores that they and other members of their family could do to share the chores more equally.
Students write sentences explaining how they can help at home: I can make my bed. My dad can take out the garbage.
