ought to
Step 1: Warm-Up (Introduction)
- 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?
- 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: Health → We ought to drink enough water every day.
