| Lesson opening (5 min) Engagement (Storytelling with a deliberate mistake) |
Teacher: "Good morning, everyone. I want to tell you a short story about my friend who works for a big international charity. Last year, during a major flood, his team was on the ground. He told me, 'We can provide immediate food and shelter, so we must wait for all the official paperwork first. Also, we should have more volunteers, but we didn't ask for help.' Something about his story bothers me. Listen carefully. What part of his statement doesn't sound quite right for an effective charity's action? Discuss with your partner for one minute."
After discussion: "So, what did you find? Yes! The mistake is 'we must wait for paperwork.' In an emergency, they mustn't wait; they must act quickly! This 'must' shows obligation. Today, we'll use modal verbs like must, can, should, should have to talk precisely about what charities do, what's obligatory, possible, or what they regret not doing." |
Students listen to the story. They discuss in pairs to identify the logical mistake (the obligation to wait for paperwork contradicts urgent aid). They share their findings with the class. They note the target grammar (modal verbs). | Oral formative assessment through pair discussion and class feedback. Descriptor: Student can identify the illogical use of 'must' in the given context. | Whiteboard/Projector. AI Tool: ChatGPT to generate varied story examples with deliberate mistakes for differentiation. |
