I went to one of those demo classes and stole much of this lesson from the class I saw. Use it too.
Intended for: High School Freshmen (in Korea)
Time: 45-50 minutes
Materials: 2 PPTs, paper ( enough for each pair), tape.
Objective: Students will form and answer ‘would you rather’ questions
phrases: ‘Would you rather…or..? ‘i would rather… than.. blank.”
Key words: than… and any words your students aren’t familiar with on the slide with many questions.
Introduction(5): I have separate slides for girls and boys. Show them the slides of the handsome man/ unattractive man( respectively, the hot chick and the not at all hot chick). Tell the students that the people in the slides want to be their girlfriend/boyfriend. Make a story as to why the unattractive person might be the better option. For the boys, I said Megan Foxx was in debt and the boys would have to pay her bills, while Sandra Bernhart is wealthy and the boys would not have to work. For the girls, I said the hot guy wasn’t very nice, but the unattractive guys( which is a pic of my boyfriend) is really kind and treats a lady pretty swell. Ask them who they would choose.
Present(10): Essentially follow the slides how the necessary grammar. drill em.
Practice(10): Work in partners and ask each other all of the questions on the slide/list.
Production part 1(10): Have the pairs draw two choices on their one paper. Explain that they should be able to ask ‘would you rather’, and that they need a verb. My example slide is a dog and a cat, so I would ask “Would you rather have a dog or a cat for a pet?” Check up on them throughout.
Production part 2(10): Once groups are about finished, get your tape and post up their drawings around the room. Have the students walk around the room with their partner and ask ‘would you rather?’ questions about the drawings.
Outcomes: The lesson works pretty well, It might be short of the allotted time actually. I don’t know when the best time to present this is, but let them know that they cannot use ‘like’ in their questions. I just doesn’t make sense. Even though the lesson seems simple there’s a lot of ways they can be hmmm inaccurate.
