Students will comment on the scenarios using all the past modals previously presented. Once your students have a handle switching between present and past modals correctly, you can move to your first study.Ĭreate a worksheet that has about 5-8 different scenarios on it all related to bad things that can happen during a regular day. Since the use of the past participle is so prevalent in this lesson, it's a good idea to review this as well. From here, you can elicit the functions and have students give some sample sentences using past modals. Board Could/Should/Would + Have + Past Participle. Elicit from the class how to create a past modal. Board Could, Should, Would and elicit their meanings and structures briefly. What are 4 bad, but funny, things that have happened to you this year?īefore introducing past modals, I think it's wise to review present modals first. What are three things that can typically happen to make a day go wrong?ģ. Elicit the concept of having a bad day.ĭemo out the questions and put students in groupsĢ. When you they ask you about your day, spill the water all over yourself. Have a glass of water with you that you are drinking. Take a look! I also have a video demonstration of this lesson plan in action that I've posted below.Ĭome into class asking students how their day is going. I recommend doing this lesson for groups of students who already have a decent understanding of past participles. The lesson requires only about 15 minutes of prep to pull off and has a heavy focus on speaking. Here's a lesson plan that is suitable for Intermediate and Upper Intermediate language students with past modal verbs being the focus.
