1. Start with a Simple Demonstration (5 minutes)
- Act out a situation: Teacher walks into the classroom and says,
👉 "The floor is wet! You must be careful!" - Ask students:
❓ Why did I say 'must' in this sentence?
❓ What do you think 'must' means?- Let them guess before explaining.
💡 Explanation:
- "Must" is used for:
1️⃣ Rules & Obligations (You must wear a seatbelt.)
2️⃣ Strong Advice (You must try this dish!)
3️⃣ Logical Deductions (He must be at home; his car is outside.)
2. Interactive Practice (15 minutes)
A. "Find the Rule" Game (5 minutes)
- Write sentences on the board:
- You must brush your teeth every day.
- You must stop at a red light.
- You must finish your homework.
- Ask: What do all these sentences have in common?
- Guide students to understand that must is used for rules & strong advice.
B. "Yes or No" Action Game (5 minutes)
- Say a sentence and students must act accordingly:
1️⃣ You must stand up! (Students stand)
2️⃣ You must touch your nose! (Students touch their nose)
3️⃣ You must NOT clap! (Students do nothing) - This helps them grasp affirmative and negative forms interactively.
C. Role-Play Activity (5 minutes)
- Pair up students for a doctor-patient role-play:
- Doctor: You have a fever. You must drink hot soup and rest.
- Patient: Okay, doctor. I must take my medicine too!
