Description

In this lesson students have the opportunity to explore and use multiple grammar forms in the context of talking about the future. During the lead-in Ss share one thing they will do in the future. Ss will read an email about Thanksgiving plans and point out grammar structures: be going to future, will, present continuous, and future continuous in affirmative and negative statements. MFPA will then be explored using CCQs to clarify meaning and choosing the correct structure from two examples for Form. P will focus on contractions +‘ll, stressed and unstressed "will", the prevalence of gonna, especially in American spoken English. Appropriacy will focus on "will" as formal and sometimes used formally where rule of thumb would have be going to. Ss will practice using the target language by filling in gaps in a controlled practice exercise and speaking about their plans for the future, using the target language, in a freer practice.
