Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T asks Ss about the advantages and disadvantages of working from home. Ss discuss in pairs or groups (according to the number of Ss in the class) a few minutes.

Exposure (5-8 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

Ss listen to an audio about the advantages and disadvantages of working from home. Already having listened to the audio, Ss underline the appropriate verb structure in the tapescript. They check their answers in pairs.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

T asks Ss what necessity and permission is and elicits some answers. The Ss completes a table of necessity and permission and work out the meaning for themselves for modals including have to, must, don't have to, can, can't and must'nt. They check their answers in pairs. Ss fill in the blanks using have to, must, don't have to, can, can't and must'nt. They check answers in pairs.

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

Should is added to the modal verbs in this stage. Ss work out the differency of meaning between must and should themselves using the first exercise in HO3. They check answers in pairs. Then they make a to do list for themselves and tell their priorities to their friends using their list.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

Ss do a controlled practice activity using all the modals including should in this stage. They read a text about "five ways to get your boss to like you" and underline the correct modals. They check their answers in pairs.

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

Ss compare their ideas about the best piece of advice on how to get your boss to like you in pairs or groups.

Free Practice (If-time) (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Ss are divided into small groups. Each group takes a card and write 4 rules for the place on the card. They can't use the forbidden words. T writes the modals on the board: You have to/must, You mustn't, You can, You cannot, You don't have to. T reminds not to write the name of the place because the class will guess it. T makes an example: FOR BANK: DON’T USE MONEY, CHEQUE, INVEST, QUEUE, PAY. You can borrow cash from this place. You usually have to show ID. You cant buy things in this place.
