What would you do if you got an extra day every week? Partners share some information about their routines and lives and write compositions about one another based on the information. Each partner tries to guess what the other person would do during an extra day. This sharing activity leads into a short film that demonstrates what one couple might do during an extra day. For homework, individuals write about what they would do with another day.
