Procedure (40-49 minutes)
- To activate prior knowledge I will have the Ss match the phrases a-d in the gaps 1-4 in exercise 1. - To begin to elicit the form, I will remind the Ss of Kyra from the text they have just read and start to elicit: - Did her mum allow Kyra to leave her at home when she was little? I write on WB Kyra's mother couldn't leave her at home when she was little. I ask: How about when she was 14, was she allowed to stay at home alone? I write: Her mum could leave her at home when she was 14. When Kyra's mum was ill who went to the market? Ss answer kyra. Then, Kyra must go. Past? I write Kyra had to go to the market on WB. When her mum was ok, did she have to go with her mum? So I write Kyra didn't have to go to the market because Kyra could stay at home on her own. - After writing the sentences on WB to model the language I explain the form in its positive, negative, and question form as well as the tense and formula. - Explain that we don't need the word "to" when using "could" - Going back to ex 1 and take FB. 1.c, 2.d, 3.a, 4.b.
- In pairs Ss complete the text in exercise 2. - No FB yet.
-Ss listen to CD to check their answers. - With a partner Ss discuss their answers. - I take FB. 1.had to. 2.didn't have to. 3.couldn't. 4. had to. 5. couldn't. 6. didn't have to. 7. could. 8. had to.
- Ss work individually to think about when they were children and share about their experiences with partners using modals of obligation (could, had to) into positive, negative and question form. - Ss compare their answers with their partners. - I take FB e.g. I ask a student " Olcay, tell me one thing that your partner shared with you".
- In pairs Ss are going to read a text to find out how many shops are mentioned. - I give answer key for checking.
- In groups of 3, Ss choose a shopping area in their town and they can talk to their partners to describe the shopping area. - This activity also reinforces vocabulary that Ss would be using for their next lesson.
