Lesson Proper: Activity 1: Watch Me!
The teacher will present a video to the students on the recent floodings on Cebu City. After watching the video, the teacher will ask the following questions: 1. What have you observed from the video? 2. Have you experience severe flooding in your area? What did you do? 3. As students, what can you do to help prevent floods in your community? Expected students’ answers: I should throw my garbage on the trash bins. We must plant more trees. We must help each other in cleaning our community.
The teacher will then highlight the modal verbs in the sentences and ask students if they are familiar with them. FIRM – UP The teacher will present a power point presentation about Modals.
Modals (also called modal verbs, modal auxiliary verbs, modal auxiliaries) are special verbs that behave irregularly in English. They are different from normal verbs like "work, play, visit..." They give additional information about the function of the main verb that follows it. They have a great variety of communicative functions. Here are some characteristics of modal verbs: They never change their form. You can't add "s", "ed", "ing"... They are used to indicate modality and allow speakers to express certainty, possibility, willingness, obligation, necessity, ability
When we want to express permission, prohibition (not allowing something), obligation or no obligation, we use modal verbs.
Permission – can, may, could
“Can” is most often used to ask for or give permission (informal) but “may” (formal) and “could” (polite permission) are also possible even though they are not used as often as 'can'.
Examples: Can I borrow a pen? You can sit here, the seat is free. Could I open the window? May I ask a question?
Prohibition – can’t, mustn’t
“Can't” and “mustn't” (must not) are used to show that something is prohibited (not allowed)
Examples: You can't go into that restaurant without a tie. You can't drive in this country unless you are over eighteen. You mustn't use your phone in class. “Can't” usually gives the idea of something that is against the rules. “Mustn’t” usually means that it is the speaker who is setting the rule.
Obligation – have to, must, should
“Have to”, “must” and “should” are both used to express obligation. There is a slight difference in the way
“Let all things be done in Charity.” – M. Rosalia Bussi 2
that they are both used.
“Have to” shows that the obligation comes from someone else, not the speaker. This is usually referring to a rule or law. Examples: We have to be at the airport at least two hours before the flight. I have to work on Saturday. They have to wear their uniforms at school.
“Must” shows strong obligation from the speaker.
Examples: I must hand in my thesis by tomorrow. I really must call my parents.
“Should” expresses mild obligation.
Examples: I should / ought to see a doctor. I have a terrible headache. You should save some money.
Activity 2: Complete Me!
After a thorough discussion, the teacher will test student’s understanding through a quick check-up test.
Instructions: Read the following sentences carefully and supply the correct modal based on the purpose inside the parenthesis (for numbers 1-5 only).
1. My phone is dead. __________ I borrow yours? (Informal, permission)
2. You _________ use your phone in class. (prohibition) 3. You _________ now begin your exam. (formal, permission) 4. Drivers _________ always stop on red lights. (strong obligation) 5. Students _________ review their lessons each day of the class. (obligation) 6. People _________ smoke in public places. 7. Students _________ manage their time carefully when taking a timed test. 8. People _________ turn off their mobile phones at the movie theater. 9. Men and women _________ be treated equally. 10. If you are going to drive, you _________ consume alcoholic drinks.
After the quick check-up test, the teacher will ask students if they have questions. DEEPEN Activity 3: Sum it up! Students will answer the following questions concisely in a ½ crosswise intermediate paper. 1. What is the importance of using appropriate modals in expressing different intentions? 2. How will you apply your knowledge about modals in real-life situations? TRANSFER Activity 4: Read Me! The teacher will let students read a news article from Inquirer.net entitled “Cebu City hit by worst flood since Typhoon Odette.” After reading the article, students are tasked to construct 5 sentences expressing permission, obligation and prohibition using modals based on the news article that they have read.
