ought to

Step 1: Warm-Up (Introduction)

  1. Ask a Simple Question:
    • What should we do when we see someone in trouble?
    • What is the right thing to do if we find a lost wallet?
  2. Introduce "Ought To":
    • Explain that “ought to” is used to express duty, advice, or moral obligation.
    • Example: You ought to help a person in need.

Step 2: Basic Explanation

  • Structure:
    • Subject + ought to + verb (base form) + object
    • Example: You ought to respect your parents.
  • Meaning: Similar to "should" but stronger in obligation.
  • Example Sentences:
    • You ought to apologize if you make a mistake.
    • We ought to follow traffic rules.

Step 3: Interactive Activities

Activity 1: Picture Prompt (Think & Speak)

  • Show pictures (e.g., a person helping an old man cross the road).
  • Ask: What should he do? → Expected Answer: He ought to help the old man.

Activity 2: Role Play (Real-Life Situations)

  • Assign roles: One student asks for advice, another responds using "ought to."
    • Example:
      • Student A: I failed my exam. What should I do?
      • Student B: You ought to study harder next time.

Activity 3: Correct the Mistake

  • Give incorrect sentences, and students correct them.
    • Incorrect: You ought to eats healthy food.
    • Correct: You ought to eat healthy food.

Activity 4: Yes/No Game

  • Ask a question using "ought to," and students answer Yes/No and explain why.
    • Ought we to respect our elders?
    • Yes, we ought to respect them because they guide us.

Step 4: Practice with Writing

  • Give students prompts like:
    • Write three things you ought to do daily.
    • Write one thing everyone ought to do for the environment.

Step 5: Wrap-Up & Fun Challenge

  • Quick Fire Round: Say a topic (Health, Study, Family, Society), and students give an "ought to" sentence quickly.
    • Example: HealthWe ought to drink enough water every day.
