Procedure (39-57 minutes)
I will tell students about my dilemma . Should I go out? Or Must I stay in?
Review the form and meaning if the modal verbs "should" and "must". Should – advice Must – advice with stronger tone subject + should + verb infinitive subject + must + verb infinitive You should come out for a drink tonight! You must pack your bags. You should relax and join us! You mustn't miss your taxi tomorrow morning. Should Must Are we offering advice? yes Are we offering advice? yes Do you have to take this advice? no Do you have to follow this advice? yes Is it a good idea to take this advice? yes
Have students complete the multiple choice HO to ensure they are familiar with the TL. Peer check, write FB on the WB.
Students will make a list of advice for students who will be starting English classes. They will make 10 sentences using should or must to give students advice about what they might need, what they should do..... They will work in groups of 3. I will give the students numbers so they are not with their usual partners. I will give the instructions BEFORE I give the hand out. I will circulate the HO and then review the examples.
Students will take the lists that they have made and stick them on the WB on the door and on the wall. In their groups they will circulate through the class to read the different lists that are placed on the wall. They will check the advice they find interesting or agree with and write suggestions for anything they don't agree with. Not correcting any grammar or spelling - just agreeing and suggesting.
Students will take back their lists and refine it using the suggestions they have gotten from their classmates to make a list of the 3 most important pieces of advice. When they have done this I will ask each group to give me a sentence so I can form a top 5 most important for the class. I will write these on the WB correcting any errors with the form.
