Grammar - Wishes & Should Have...
Upper-Intermediate, B-2 level

Description

In this PPP grammar lesson students will learn about "wishes" and "should have" (plus negatives). The lead-in will be a discussion of 5 different ways to make money. The context will be set bey a short article depicting 6 different ways of earning extra money. This will segue into matching the correct wish and should have / hadn't sentences to the story. I will then use 2 marker sentences to elicit meaning, form and pronunciation followed by drilling. The practice segment will involve a controlled practice using cut ups and matching, a semi-controlled practice rewriting sentences with supplied words, and concluding with a freer speaking practice identifying 5 things you did or didn't do in in the past year that you regret, students will then ask f/u questions and share with the class what their partner regrets the most. Immediate error correction will take place during both controlled practices. WCFB and delayed error correction will follow the freer practice.
