Divide the class into two groups. Let the learners to choose a card. Those who choose red cards will be the team number one. Their group’s name is “Apples” and those who have chosen a blue card will be the second team called “Bananas”.

Introduce the aims and tasks of each group. They are the following:

• To speak in English

• To answer the questions

• To be active

The main idea behind this section is to allow students to realize what are “the school rules”
1. Begin the class by stating: We all should behave well at school. This is called the school rules. In order to be able to speak about school rules, we should first know what the modal verbs are. You already know modal verb “can”. Let’s check your knowledge by playing a little game called “Crocodile”.

In this game one learner shows with gestures different actions and the rest of the class must guess them and make a sentence with “can”. For example, I can swim.

So today we will learn about the modal verb “must”. We use “must” when we need to do something, because it is a rule. For example, when the light is red in the traffic lights, we must stop.

Learners will be shown a presentation with the explanation of the rules for the modal verb “must”.

After the introduction of the grammatical theme, we will come to the vocabulary part of the lesson. Learners will be shown slides with the pictures of school rules. Their task is to fill in the gaps with the correct form of the verb “must”, so that they will get a correct school rule.

Active vocabulary of the lesson:

1. To chew gum

2. To raise a hand

3. To wear a uniform

4. To bring books

5. To run in the corridor

6. To sleep in class

Learners do exercises to practice the modal verb “must”.

Writing:

Fill in the gaps with Must or mustn’t

1. You ______ wash your hands before lunch.

2. You ______ listen to your parents.

3. You ______ break the windows at school.

4. You ______ eat lots of sweets.

5. You ______ chew gum in class.

6. You ______ play football in the classroom

Speaking: Learners ask each other questions in a row.

Must you wear a uniform at school? Yes, I must.

Must you chew gum in a class? No, I mustn’t.

Listening:

Learners will listen to a song called “The school rules”. Their task is to listen to the song and fill in the gaps.

Song: The school rules

Clues: school, rules, hand, sit up, learning, stop, go, learning.

When learners finish with filling in the gap, they will sing along with the video.

Reading: Text “My school day”

Learners read a text about a typical school day. Then they answer the questions to check their understanding.

What time does he go to school? At 8 o’clock.

Speaking: Dialogue

Learners will be distributed timetables. Their task is to ask each other questions about it.

For example, What time do you have English on Monday? We have English at 13.30 (half past one)

In order to consolidate today’s lesson learners will play a game called “Tornado”. The rules of the game are the following: Each team will choose a question from five categories: Subjects 1, Subjects 2, Timetable, School objects and School rules. For every correct answer they will build a picture of a house step by step. But they must be careful as there are some cells with “Tornado”. If they open a cell with a tornado in it, it will blow away their houses.

Learners will be distributed stickers.

After the reflection stage, we will conclude the lesson and praise the winners.

Homework:

Writing: “My ideal school”. Learners must write a short text about their ideal school. And then they should present it before the class.
