Procedure (33-44 minutes)
The class will be started by a talk about my impossible wishes to being a man. it will be followed by asking students to tell the class that what they would do if they were a guy.
I will choose 3 of my students sentences to write in the correct second conditional form on the board to draw their attention to the formula that I use
I will write second conditional on the board and ask the students some CCQs: Are the sentences about the imaginary situation? (No). Are the sentences about the possibe situation? (Yes). I will elicit the structure from the students by asking about the role of the words. if + verb (past simple form) to talk about imaginary situation and would/wouldn't+ based form to talk about consequence . I will let them know that would and wouldn't is the same for all persons.
Students are going to do gap filling task on page 143 in the grammar bank in 4 minutes individually. They will have 2 minutes to check their answers in pairs and then we will check the answers with the whole class.
The students are going to be divided into groups of 3 or 4. They will have 8 minutes to talk about what they would do, if they were a ghost. at the end, they are going to tell the class who in the group they think had the best idea of being a ghost. They will be monitored and feedback will be given at the end if needed.
