Description
Teach this no prep English grammar lesson on modals (also called auxiliary or helping verbs) to adult ESL students and high school ELL newcomers!
This complete lesson with activities and worksheets is appropriate for beginner to intermediate-level teenagers and adults. Students will learn modals of advice, suggestion, necessity, and prohibition.
There is no childish clipart, and the topics are geared toward older learners to increase engagement. Students practice all skills: listening, speaking, reading & writing. Way better than a textbook!
You can use this lesson if you are short on prep time, if you just need a break, or you can use it as an emergency sub plan!
Included in this resource:
1. A detailed lesson plan that walks the teacher through each step of the lesson. The lesson follows a PPP (present, practice, produce) structure.
2. All accompanying materials for the lesson:
*A grammar presentation on the meaning, form, and use of different kinds of modal auxiliary verbs with examples of the grammar in context:
- Modals & expressions of suggestion: Might (not) want to, could, why not, why don't/doesn't, how about, what about
- Modals of advice: should (not), ought to, had better (not)
- Modals of necessity and prohibition: Have to, have got to, need to, must (not)
*A grammar explanation handout for students to refer to and study
*Activity worksheets that can be used digitally as a fillable PDF or a printed worksheet. These are scaffolded, engaging activities that focus on a communicative approach: warm-up activity, fill-in-the-blank, speaking activity, paragraph writing, and letter writing.
*Answer key
