Teacher: "Good morning! I have a question for you. Imagine you see your classmate running to school, out of breath, 5 minutes after the bell. What is the one most likely reason? Is it: A) They can't wake up early. B) They must help their family every morning. C) They might have missed the bus. D) They should manage their time better. Show me your fingers: 1 for A, 2 for B, 3 for C, 4 for D." (Takes a quick count). "Interesting! So, we have different ideas about possibility, obligation, and advice. The words in bold – can't, must, might, should – are our lesson's heroes. They are modal verbs, and they help us express these subtle shades of meaning. Today, we'll learn to use them precisely." | Students listen to the scenario, think, and vote by showing fingers. They briefly hear peers' reasoning during the teacher's debrief. | Descriptors: Student participates in voting and shows attention to the introductory discussion. No points. |
Whiteboard/Projector with the question and options. AI Tool: Mentimeter or Slido for anonymous real-time voting and instant visualization of class opinions, making the engagement inclusive and data-driven. |
