Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (5-7 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T gives instructions. What's in the box game? T brings a box full of unusual, interesting items in it. T says mystery person came in to ITI yesterday and left this box behind. T asks students to find out some information about this. Students put their hand into the box and tell class what they can full. T gives examples first. Ex: I think it may be a bar of chocolate. He may be rich. She could be an ispector. etc.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

T writes up the two sentences on the board with the models underlined. T asks students what these are? (modal auxiliary verb) T elicits the meaning in each case. (present & past) Students read the rules individually. T writes one example on the board and students complete the sentences 1-5. T monitors and refers them to the relevant rules where appropriate. Students checks with the pairs. Then T gives feedback.
