Intended for: High School Freshmen (in Korea)
Time: 45-50 minutes
Materials: PPT, Four sheets for four corner( Unlikely 10%, Possibly 30%, Probably 70%, Definitely 90%), tape, dice( but can be opt.)
Objective: Students will be able to use adverbs of frequency to make predictions.
phrases: “How likely is this?”, “(North Korea) will unlikely (reunite with South Korea).”, (Aliens) will probably (visit Earth).“
Key words: Unlikely, possibly, probably, and definitely.
Introduction (10): The day’s topic is predictions. Have students talk in pairs and ask questions from the slide about their partner’s future. Where will you live in ten years, etc. Call on students to present some answers.
Present (10): Present your prediction. Robots will control the world. Ask students, How likely is this?. They may respond with simple yes, no, or never. Present the four adverbs of frequency. Ask students to use those words to make a prediction. Then go over the next slides: how to use these words in a complete sentence. Use next slide to check which two have correct grammar and which on does not. Drill students on your robot prediction.
Practice (12): Four corners. Each one of your sheets with the adverb of frequency should be taped in the corners of the room. Show slides with certain predictions (North Korea will reunite with South Korea). Have students stand up and instruct them to move to the appropriate corner. Drill students once they move to the corner (how likely is this? NK will unlikely reunite with SK). There are about ten slides. My co-teach ended with a funny prediction about one of the students doing a dance or something crazy, so all the kids moved to definitely. Then she had to dance…
Production: Have students sit and talk to their partner. The slide shows 6 subjects that they need to make a prediction about. Each subject has a number attached to it. I have them roll a die, and each time they need to make a prediction based on number. take turns. then drill em.
Outcomes: Students are able to pick up the sentence structure pretty well. Boys will hesitate to move during four corners. They rather just hangout with everyone at ‘possibly’, but you can still drill em. Students will not use all the time to make MANY predictions for the last stage. I say, drill em for the last three to five minutes. Still, it’s a worthwhile lesson. content is good, but the bad kids will still be shits.
