Procedure (35-44 minutes)
• T displays a picture on screen related to people from the 1900s: • T elicits a few ideas from learners. • T conducts OCFB and writes learners’ ideas on the board.
• Instructions: Fill in the gaps. T- Demos. People _definitely won't_ use the telephone to talk to their friends. In Ani y her 100 years people will ______ listen to music, just like they do now. In 2100 people ______ won't have baths-only showers. A hundred years from now, people will_______ eat pizza! By that time, there__________ be a new way of listening to music.

Followed Instructions: Listen to the recording and compare answers. • ICQs: Are we listening for much detail? No • Check answers in pairs 2 mins. (via private messages) T conducts OCFB
On the Jamboard I will project a cline to show learners which modal has more probabilities to happen. Next to it, I will place the next questions and ask them to drag the yes or no answers: T- demos 1st one Are we talking about the future? Yes Are we sure is it / isn´t going to happen? Yes Are we fairly sure that can happen? Yes Is it possible that will/ it won´t happen? Yes Meaning: Put sentences in order from 1= most probable to 5= least probable T- demos We definitely won´t buy a new car. 5 We´ll definitely buy a new car. 1 We might buy a new car. 3 We´ll probably buy a new car. 2 We probably won´t buy a new car. 4 Form: Match the correct answer and form. Do probably and definitely come before or after will? After We´ll probably buy a new car. Subject+ Modal +Probably/Definitely+ Verb infinitive form Do probably and definitely come before or after won't? Before We definitely won´t buy a new car. Subject+definitely/probably+ Modal + Verb infinitive form Pronunciation: T: Where is the stress in the sentence? T: Demos S: Drill after the demo We definitely won´t buy a new car. S: stress the sentence. We might buy a new car. We may be invited but I'm not sure. You’ll probably cook something for dinner. She’ll definitely cook something for dinner.
