Teaching the concept of necessity

to create a warm atmosphere and to help students express their own ideas and feelings:
“What did you have to do after school yesterday?”
“Did you have to write your homework ?”
“What did you have to cook yesterday?”

4. READING (8min) P-W, Gr-W

Aim: to practise their reading and speaking skills
Ss will have to work in pairs and to read a text silently. In 2 minutes they have to
underline
the modal verbs. Then the text is read aloud and I will try to elicit from them all the modal
verbs used and at what tenses they are at by asking some questions.

5. WRITING (20 min) T-Ss, Gr-W
   Aim: - to elicit from students some modal verbs related to the topic

Activity 1: I will write on the blackboard “ NECESSITIES” and I will ask each student

to come

and write one of the modal verbs:

NEED TO HAVE TO

MUST

NOT

DO NOT

HAVE TO

MUST

Activity 2:
Students are asked, in pairs, to talk about necessity and lack of it. Students have
to do a role-play, one of them is the parent and the other the child. The teacher
remembers the students that they can talk freely, use a variety of language, pay attention to
the content and also that she will not have any intervention before the end of the activity
Activity 3:
I will give students a worksheet with some sentences written incorrectly. They
will have
to work in groups and to choose which sentence is correct and which isn’t and then to
write
the correct form of the verb.
