After they have completed the summary, have the students take it in turns to tell the class one thing they could do and one thing they couldn t do. ############################################################ What's that noise? MAY/MIGHT/COULD/MUST In this teaching activity, students learn how to use modal verbs of possibility and certainty in a real situation. For this activity, you will need some kind of screen and some everyday objects that make a recognizable sound when you use them. Procedure Put the objects behind the screen without the class seeing them. Next, ask one student to volunteer to operate the various objects behind the screen. Divide the class into two teams. The volunteer operates one of the objects. The teams take it in turns to guess what they think the object could be. Each time a team makes a guess, they use a modal verb of possibility by saying "It could/may/might be a..." If a team is very certain what the object is, the team uses a modal verb of certainty by saying "It must be a..." Teams are only allowed one guess for each turn. Score the game: One point for a correct guess with "It could/may/might be a..." Two points for a correct guess with "It must be a..." Minus two points for an incorrect guess with "It must be a..." You can also play a variation of this game with smells by using things like lavender, mint, garlic, coffee, etc. You could also play this game with touch by using various fabrics. In both of these variants, the player in the guessing role would have to be blindfolded. Possibility and probability Aims: to review the use of may, might, could, must and can t to express possibility and probability; to review the use of may, might and could when talking about possibility and probability in the future; to extend vocabulary for expressing probability Grammar Review: 8

9 Write the following phrases on the board: wears a wedding ring / be married// don t know where Dad is / be in the garden// sky looks cloudy / rain// Anna s too far behind / win the race// bought a lottery ticket / be a millionaire Say aloud: She wears a wedding ring. ~ She must be married. I don t know where Dad is. ~ He may be in the garden. The sky looks cloudy. ~ It might rain. Anna s too far behind. ~ She can t win the race. I ve bought a lottery ticket. ~ You could be a millionaire! Ask students to repeat the phrases after you. Then say aloud the first part only and ask students to complete the phrases aloud as a class in response. Write the complete phrase with the modal verbs in place on the board. Tell the class that these phrases are all about possibility and probability. For each phrase, ask whether the speaker feels sure about what they are saying, or whether they think what they are saying is possible, but they aren t sure. Draw this diagram on the board underneath the example sentences, but don t include the modal verbs. Tell students that the line represents how sure we are about something. Ask students to put may, might, could, must and can t in the correct place. - isn t can t be could be may/might be must be is + Looking again at the example sentences, ask: Are these sentences about now or the future? *She must be married. now; He may/might be in the garden. now; It may/might rain. - future She can t win the race. now; You could become a millionaire. - future.] 9
