Copy of Modals of obligation - must, have to- should
Intermediate level

Description

In this lesson, students are introduced to modals of obligation – must, have to, and should – through guided discovery based on a reading text about becoming a millionaire. The lesson starts with a warmer to remind SS about the text they read in the previous lesson and about what it takes to become a millionaire. This is followed by a handout in which SS answer questions that will help them to discover the meaning, function and form of the target language. Next SS complete controlled and freer exercises that introduce new vocabulary, some of which will be pre-taught and another series that SS need to discuss in pair work.
