The teacher greets the class warmly, saying, “Hey guys, how are you today? Did you do anything interesting over the weekend?” The teacher encourages a few students to share briefly about their weekends. Then, the teacher shares a personal story: “Well, I didn’t do anything exciting—I just cleaned the kitchen. It was my turn to do the dishes.” This naturally introduces the topic of living with others. The teacher continues, “Nowadays, I share an apartment with my friend. So, we have some rules like who takes out the trash or buys toilet paper. Do you have any similar rules at home or in your dorms?” The teacher listens to students’ answers to activate their prior knowledge and build interest.

The teacher tells students that living with roommates can be fun but also chaotic. Then, the teacher opens the dialogue and students read aloud the dialogue between Burcu and Eslem. After the dialogue, the teacher asks comprehension questions to ensure students understand the situation and main ideas. The teacher asks, “What is happining in this conversation? What kind of things does the second rommate say? Are they giving excueses? Promising things? Suggesting things” This helps students get familiar with the context and language naturally.

The teacher shows the key sentences from the dialogue on the board that include will, won’t, and shall: “I’ll clean it up right now,” “I promise I won’t leave it messy anymore,” “Shall I take it out now?” “Will you stop using my towel too?” and “Shall we make a chore list?” The teacher asks the class, “What kind of things is Eslem saying here? Is she offering something, making a promise, or suggesting an idea?” The teacher guides students to notice that will is used for offers and promises, won’t for promises not to do something, and shall for polite offers or suggestions.

The teacher explains the grammar clearly and simply: “Will is used when we make promises or offers. For example, ‘I will help you.’ Won’t is the negative form, used to promise not to do something, like ‘I won’t be late.’ Shall is used to make polite offers or suggestions, especially in questions, such as ‘Shall I open the window?’ or ‘Shall we go out?’”

The teacher introduces a role-play activity called the Roommate Complaint Hotline. The teacher explains that one student will act as the caller, reading a complaint card describing a funny roommate problem. The other student will be the hotline worker who responds politely using will, won’t, and shall to offer help, promises, or suggestions. Students practice in pairs, taking turns being caller and hotline worker with different cards.

The teacher sets the task: “Now it’s your turn! Imagine you just moved into an apartment with a friend. Discuss and create at least six rules to live together peacefully.” The teacher tells students to use will, won’t, and shall in their rules to make promises, offers, and suggestions. Students work in pairs or small groups to negotiate and agree on their roommate agreement. Finally, each group shares their rules with the class. The teacher wraps up by asking if anyone has questions and then closes the lesson.
