Modal Review Lesson Plan
Goals
   For me to learn a little bit more about each individual student
   To encourage cross cultural interaction and a free expression of ideas while
      making use of the modals learned in previous classes
Objectives:
   To build a broader understanding of how modals are used and why
   To practice the use of modals via questions and opinions
   To discuss cultural differences and similarities in English
Materials:
   Activity instructions via PowerPoint
   Interview questions worksheet
   Controversial statements worksheet
   Modal videos with subtitles (Use in Film and Television)
   Whiteboard markers
Procedure:
   1. Greeting and introduction, remind class of unit we are on (Modals)
   2. Warm-up (10 min): Get students to write two things I should know about them or
      their culture on a piece of paper as well as 1 thing they would like to know about
      me using modals then hand it in to me. I will then read what they would like me
      to know about them to the class and answer their questions to the best of my
      ability. Description of exercise will be provided via PowerPoint.
   3. Activity 1 (20 min) Partner interview with Modals; Assign random partners and
      provide a list of interview questions for students to ask their partners. Instruct
      students to write down answers to each question on their worksheets. Upon
      completion, pairs will share 1 or 2 interesting things they have learned about each
      other. Interview Worksheet Provided.
   4. Activity 2 (20 min) Controversial Statements: Break the class up into 5 groups
      and assign each group 1 controversial topic that they must discuss with their
      group and decide whether they agree/disagree/unsure and why. After an allotted
      amount of time, groups will present their opinions to the class. Topics and
      instructions will be provided via a worksheet as well as examples of possible
      statements via PowerPoint.
   5. Conclusion (If time permits) (10 min) Show a few quick videos of modals in use
      in film and television. After each video ask the students to identify the modals
      being used and why, subtitles enabled to make exercise easier. Finish the lesson
      with a word of the day. Today’s word is Macabre, explanation will be provided.
