- 2. Procedure: 1- Starting the class (5 min): At the beginning of the class we will ask a student to deliver the badges with the pupils’ names to his/her classmates and we will take down note of the absent students. 2- Presenting the topic (10 min): We will begin writing the words CAN and CAN’T on the board and providing them with examples for each word (I can read – I can’t fly) along with a cross and a tick next to each example. Then, we will ask the students if they know or have an idea of what those words mean. If they can understand the meaning, we will ask them to provide more examples. If they find it difficult to understand the meaning, we will improvise a dialogue between both of us, e.g.: Laura: Besim, Can you cook? Besim: Yes, I can cookvery well. Besim: Laura, Can you play tennis? Laura: No, I can’t but I can play volleyball. Then, we will ask them again what they think CAN/CAN’T mean. 3- Flashcards game (10 - 15 min): this activity will consist of making questions according to the sportthey have in the flashcard (ski, fly, ride a motorbike, etc). Pupils will have to answer questions like “Can you fly?” by saying something like “No, I can’t fly”. This way, children will not only retrieve the vocabulary about sports and verbs, but they will also associate the meaning of can and cannot in a “tangible” way. Once they have answered a couple of similar questions, we will divide the lesson into two groups and ask them to ask/answer questions one group to the other. 4- Writing activity (10 min): we will ask the pupils to complete the worksheet that we will give them. In this activity, they will have to complete some sentences according to what they can or cannot do. Then we will ask them to hand in the worksheets so that we can correctthem at home. 5- Mimic game (5 min): to finish with this class, we will play a mimic game. Students will have to guess what actions the teacher is representing and say “The teacher can’t write”, “The teacher can jump”, etc. With this activity we plan to reinforce all the vocabulary seen through the whole lesson.
