During whole class feed-back I will ask them some CCQs like 'can they take the bikes to the home?, no they can't. Do they have to pay for the first half-hour? no they don't have to.
before delivering the texts, tell them that are going to read the text quickly without trying to understand everything and underline modal verbs can/can't have to/don't have to. Give the hand-outs and get them to do the task alone. after they finish ask them to check their answer with their partner.
