After listening, go around and ask different pupils: What will you do this summer?
Grammar Activity
•
Do the activity to practice the form: Future Simple (positive and negative)
•
Sentence Builder (VA #20)
Before the lesson, prepare the Sentence Builder cards. You will need the following cards: pronouns,
will, verbs (for example: like, eat), negation card (not), and noun phrases (things) (for example
football, candy, ice cream, etc.).
Pass out the cards, one per pupil.
Have pupils stand in a line to create sentences. Say a sentence and have the pupils who hold the
correct cards stand at the front of the class. For example: (You) (will) (eat) (ice cream).
Say a new sentence by changing either the pronoun or the verb form at a time, or by adding not.
Play a few times to have pupils practice building sentences, especially focusing on the correct order
of will, not, and the verb in a Future Simple sentence.
Grammar
Course Book page 193
•
Before teaching the grammar form, ask pupils to look at the sentences in the Course Book.
Ask pupils to identify the subjects and verbs in the questions.
Remind pupils that sentences usually begin with a subject. Ask pupils to identify what these
sentences begin with (Elicit: Will). Ask pupils what they think this means.
Tell pupils that in English we begin a question with Will (Use L1 if needed).
•
Introduce Future Simple (questions)
•
Say: We just learned to build a sentence in the Future Simple using the word ‘will’. Now let’s see how we
construct a question in the Future Simple.
Explain that in order to make a question in Future Simple, we use “will” in the beginning of the
sentence. The subject then follows. (Use L1 if needed.)
Show how this is different from a positive Future Simple sentence by giving the examples:
You will remember everyone.
Will you remember everyone?
•
Give example sentences for each pronoun in Future Simple (positive): Will I remember everyone?, Will
you remember everyone?, Will she remember everyone?, etc.
Explain to pupils that the answers (positive or negative) to the questions are often shortened
versions: Yes, I will (remember everyone). No, he will not (remember everyone).
