in this lesson , firstly , for pre task ,students will be given a handout of a story in which a cow is in a garden and he walks around the garden and she will do some activities for example eating grasses and some four to five other activities and she will perhaps do some three to four activity for example she may eat the flowers, we will use too structure of 'she will do' for clear actions and 'she may/might do' for possible actions so under the story there will be 8 yes/no questions about the activities that the cow will do or my do in the story and students should respond to those yes/no questions. For example: ‘will the cow eat grasses in the garden?’ yes or no. the teacher will read the story and then will ask the students to answer the questions in 5 minutes and after that the teaches will check the responses.
For main task the teacher will give another handout to the students which is a story about a person who does daily routines every day and he/she does some activities every day and she/he sometimes does some other activities. For example: ‘she/he gets up at 8 o’clock every day’ and ‘she/he sometimes plays piano’. Then under the story there is a question of, what will this person do for tomorrow? And all activities are on different picture cards and each card will be given to each student. And the teacher will give two examples of, he/she will get up at 8 o’clock tomorrow, and he/she may go to the store tomorrow. Then the teacher will ask each student the question and the students should respond to the question orally, based on their cards and the cards will be exchanged between students until the end of the task. And after that the class will be divided into pairs and each pair should exercise asking the question and answering it based on their cards and the cards will be exchanged between the pairs until the end of the task.
Then, for the post task, the class will be divided into 4 groups of 5students and we need some extra cards which are special times on them that derived from the story and each group will receive some cards from both special times and activities and also the times should match the activities which are in the story, then the teacher will ask them firstly, make suitable question about those times which are on those cards and then answer them using two structures of, ‘will do’ and ‘may/might do’, furthermore all the cards should be exchanged between the groups.
