- T sets the stage for the lesson As a school principal I've known instances where children don't start school until they're 7 or 8. What do you think about these people? Do you think they're being responsible? T asks Who's responsible for a child's learning? Possible responses: parents, caregivers, Who's responsible for your learning as an adult? Ss discuss and share questions asked.

T introduces text and asks Ss to read while introducing the TL in context. (TL is underlined in the first sentence and students are to find the other 3 examples working individually) (1 minute) In Trinidad it is compulsory for children to attend school until they are 16 years of age. So as parents you'd better make sure that your child is school. You're supposed to enrol them in primary school from the age of 5. They're not supposed to be kept at home and away from school once they're under 16. Ss. read passage T instructs Ss to work in groups to compare answers. (1 minute) T reconvenes class and asks Ss to share answers (3- 4 minutes

T writes text on board and asks Ss to think about the words that indicate obligation. (Ss work individually in 1 minute) Are you to work individually or in pairs?

Meaning: She must be at the airport by 7 if she wants to get her flight for 9. She supposed to be at the airport by 7 if she wants to get her flight for 9. CCQ: Which word do you think goes better in the context for her to reach on time? S-S Explain the difference between "must" and "should" in terms of obligation. T When do we use "must" in a sentence?
