They learn a specific use of these forms, which is to make predictions about the future, here particularly in response to what somebody says to you. The context of the lesson is pessimists and optimists. The grammar is then presented through eight situations, looking at the typical predictions an optimist or pessimist might make.

Main Aims

  • The focus is to talk about the future using predictions.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To respond with optimistic or pessimistic predictions.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students.

The class will start by me talking about how I was discussing grocery prices with my friend, and how I think prices will continue to go higher. Then I will ask the student's opinions on what changes they think will happen in the near future, relating to money, economics, politics and maybe even weather.

Highlighting (2-3 minutes) • To draw student's attention to the target language.

I will use three of my students predictions and write it on the board using the will/won't prediction format.

Clarifications (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language.

I will write on the board and explain to the students the format in which we use will and won't for predictions. I will use the example of me and my friend discussing the possibility of price changes and how you can reply to what someone says, using phrases with optimistic or pessimistic predictions. I'll use CCQs, is this something that i think is going to happen or is it planned? (i think it'll happen) am i sure this is going to happen or is it my prediction? (my own prediction) can both going too and will/won't be used to make predictions? (yes*) Is there a diffrence in when we use going too and when we use will/won't? (yes, going too in for situations were either we have confirmation or more information about our prediction and are more positive) *(there is often a difference in usage: will/ won't tends to be used more than be going to to make instant on-the-spot predictions in reaction to what another person says but they can both be used)

Controlled Practice (10-12 minutes) • To concept check and prepare the students for more meaningful practice.

The students are going to complete the grammar bank of page 137, They will have 2 minutes to check their answers in pairs and then we will check the answers with the whole class.

Free Practice (10-14 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of target language/

The students will be divided into two groups. they will talk about their predictions for changes that they think will occur in the future in regards to the countries state. For example do they think that there's going to be a war again? do they think that gold and or other prices are going to change? what economical changes do they think will happen? They will be monitored and feedback will be given if needed.
