Greet students, Introduce yourself to them and ask how they feel. Ask students ''What do you think the weather will be like this week?'', ask them if they are sure or not, then write some of the answers on the board. Introduce the topic by saying ''Today we are going to learn how to talk about future and how sure or unsure we are.''
Tell students that you are going to give them a short text and you want them to underline the words that they think shows how sure or unsure the writer is about what is going to happen. Afterwards, hand them the text. When students are done with underlining, gather answers.
