Procedure (29-40 minutes)
Talk about each of the following: • Your arrangements for this evening • Your intentions for the rest of the year • Your predictions for the planet for 2022 -I will share a Google slide in the chatbox with the questions. -Will then instruct learners to talk in pairs or small groups in BOR for 3 minutes. -Ask ICQ- How long do we discuss these questions? -When they come back each student will share their plans.
-I will play a video about future plans. Ss need to answer in google form what is the video about. Meaning: -I will give them a jam board to connect sentences from the audio with situations they are used in. This is to test their understanding of the meaning. Where needed I will give further clarification and contrast will and going to (mention that will is for decisions made this moment and going to is already planned). CCQs for both: Is this present or future? Future Is it formal or informal? informal Is it used for plans/predictions/decisions or desires? Plans/predictions/decisions. From: Positive: Subject + will + verb (I, You, He, She, We, They) will come to the party. Negative: Subject + will + not (won't) + verb (I, You, He, She, We, They) won't have time tomorrow. (Stress that I'll not and I won't are both correct). Questions: Question word + will + subject + verb What will (he, she, you, we) they do? Positive: Subject + to be + going to + verb I am going to attend the meeting. (He, She) is going to attend the meeting. (You, We, They) are going to attend the meeting. Negative: Subject + to be + not + going to + verb I'm not going to visit Rome next year. -Stress that it has only one way of writing the negative. (He, She) isn't going to visit Rome next year. *Show that there are two ways to write negatives here (She's not or She isn't going to). (You, We, They) aren't going to visit Rome next year. Questions: (Question word) + to be + subject + going to + verb Where am I going to stay? Where is (she, he) going to stay? Where are (you, we, they) going to stay? Pronunciation: Ask students to pronounce the sentences for you and to guess where stress is. Remind them about the negatives and stress. Form: Both are informal in this situation and remind them that will could be formal and then it is used in the form of future simple. Common future time expressions include: next (week, month, year), tomorrow, in X's time (amount of time, i.e. two week's time), in year, time clauses (when, as soon as, before, after) simple present (example: I will telephone as soon as I arrive) soon, later.

Jack is having a dinner party next Saturday. - It's possible to use the present continuous when speaking about scheduled events in the future. By the time you arrive, I'll have been working for two hours. - Use the future perfect to state what will have been finished before a time in the future. John hasn't eaten. - Don't worry I will make him a sandwich. - Use the future with '"will" to react to a present situation. We'll usually go out for dinner when he gets in. - Use the future with "will" when using "when" in the same sense as "if".
