The class will be started by a talk about the advice I got from my therapist, things that I should and shouldn't do for my mental health. It will be followed by asking the students about their own advice.

I will choose 2 of my students' sentences and write them on the board: one with should and one with shouldn't

I will type 2 examples on the board and ask CCQs: Is she/he forcing me to do it? (No) Is it a rule? (No) Is he/she giving me permission? (No) Is he/she giving me advice? (Yes) Then I will mention that should doesn't change with the third person (he/she/it). I will teach how to make the negative form (shouldn't) and question form (Should + subject + base verb? e.g., Should we call the doctor? Shouldn't you rest more?). I will also teach that ought to has the same meaning as should for giving advice (it's a bit more formal and less common in everyday speech). The students will also be informed about the pronunciation: should /ʃʊd/ (strong) but often /ʃəd/ or /ʃd/ in fast speech; shouldn't /ˈʃʊdnt/ but often reduced to /ˈʃʊdn/ or /ˈʃʊdən/.

Students are going to do a gap filling task with 5 questions on page 141 in the grammar bank individually. Then we will check the answers with the whole class.

The students are going to be divided into groups of 3. They will have 8 minutes to talk about advice they would give to a teenager who is asking about their future: what job is better, what skills they should learn, what things they should do, and what things they shouldn't do. At the end, they are going to tell the class who in the group they think gave the best advice. They will be monitored and feedback will be given at the end if needed
