Unit 4 Expressing possibility, probability and certainty
4.1. Do you hear what I hear?(T-Cl)
The idea has been taken from busyteacher.org
The teacher makes noises with some objects; the students have to guess what the object is: It might be a…/must/could...
If you don’t want to use realia, you can find some sounds on the internet.
If the students are correct, they get a point. The one with most correct points wins and may get a thing from the box (or in case of sounds something related to them; or just any prize you use – a sticker or a sweet).
4.2. Modal crosswords (IW)
Material: Worksheet for each student
Students complete the crosswords after they got acquainted with the Grammar reference for Unit 4 (pp. 152-153). They shouldn’t turn over the worksheets (there are the keys). When they finished, they can turn over the sheets, check their answers and deal with task 2 which is matching the sentences with the examples of usage. The answers are in the Grammar reference.
