♦ Introduction (5 minutes)
- Attendances
- Greetings (Good morning or good afternoon)
- Ask the following questions to the students and write their answers on the board:

♦Step 1: Lecture + Instructions (15 minutes)
Hook: Ask the following questions to the students: - What is a treasure?
- What is a hunt?
- What is a treasure hunt?
Material: Treasure hunt sheet and flashcards
Procedure: a) Hand out sheet
b) Tell them you will explain every number to them.
c) Ask them to write notes on their sheet in order to remember what every sentence
means. Read every number of the sheet with the students and present vocabulary using
flashcards. (Appendix B) Make sure that they understand what the word find means.
Review words that are posted on objects in the class.
d) Tell them to write in English when they answer. If they do not know the word in
English, ask them to go look in a French/English Dictionary.
e) Read directions on the sheet. Find a friend and go on a treasure hunt. On the lines,
write what you found in your classroom.
Evaluation: Ask questions to see if they understood the task that they need to perform.
Plan B: If they do not know how to look in a dictionary, you can show them how.
♦Step 2: Treasure Hunt (30 minutes)
Hook: Tell the students they are going on a treasure hunt in the classroom.
Material: Sheet, objects in classroom
Procedure: a) Ask student to get in teams of two.
b) Tell them they have 30 minutes to find all their answers.

Procedure: a) Ask the students to go to their seats.
b) Tell them you are going to correct together.
c) Call out a name and ask the student to read his answer for number 1
and so on. Since students will not all have the same answer, you can ask for more than
one answer for every question.
d) Write a few possible answers on the black board.
Evaluation: By calling names, ask students to give out their answers. By doing this, you can check if
everyone answered properly.
Plan B: If there is no time to correct, you can pick up the copies and correct them yourself.
♦Conclusion (5 minutes)
a) Ask students for a summary of what they have retained from this activity.
b) Give students feedback, and ask them to put their desks back in place.

3. Content
Functional language: Learn how to use the simple future tense
Trail: Exercises in the work book.
Agenda:
1- Lecture + Instructions
2- Exercices
3- Conclusion
♦ Introduction (5 minutes)
14. - Attendances
- Greetings (Good morning or good afternoon)
- Ask the following questions to the students and write their answers on the board:
How are you? What day of the week is it? What is the date today? What month are we
in? What season are we in? How is the weather outside today? (Students can refer to the
posters in the classroom to answer.)
♦ Hook (5 mins)
- The teacher talks and uses only the simple future.
- The following questions are asked to students:
- What are you going to do tonight?
- What will you do next weekend?
- Then, ask the student to guess which verb tense was used during the discussion.
Students approach the concept in an inductive approach. Most of them use the future verb tense
without even being aware of it. The students learn the use of the structure through practice of the
language in context, and later realize the rules from the practical examples. Therefore, the lesson seems to
be familiar to them.
The advantages of the inductive approach are that students can focus on the use of the language
without being held back by grammatical terminology and rules that can inhibit fluency. The inductive
approach also promotes increased student participation and practice of the target language in the
classroom, in meaningful contexts. The use of the inductive approach has been noted for its success in
ESL classrooms world-wide, but its disadvantage is that it is sometimes difficult for students who expect
a more traditional style of teaching to induce the language rules from context.
♦ Explain the verb tense (15 mins)
- Ask the following question to the students:
- What is simple future?
- How do you form the simple future?
- Explain the following using the black board:
The structure of the simple future tense is:
subject + auxiliary verb WILL + main verb
15. invariable base
Will V1
For negative sentences in the simple future tense, we insert not between the auxiliary verb and main verb.
For question sentences, we exchange the subject and auxiliary verb. Look at these example sentences
with the simple future tense:
subject auxiliary verb main verb
+ I Will open the door.
+ You Will finish before me.
- She Will not be at school tomorrow.
- We Will not leave yet.
? Will You arrive on time?
? Will They want dinner?
When we use the simple future tense in speaking, we often contract the subject and auxiliary verb:
I will I'll
you will you'll
he will he'll
she will she'll
it will it'll
we will we'll
they will they'll
16. For negative sentences in the simple future tense, we contract with won't, like this:
I will not I won't
you will not you won't
he will not he won't
she will not she won't
it will not it won't
we will not we won't
they will not they won't
- What is the 2nd form of the simple future?
The structure of the simple future verb tense "going to":
Subject + Auxiliary Verb + Main Verb
- - "to be" - going to
How to build sentences using the future simple verb tense "going to"?
1. The auxiliary tense "to be” is used with the future simple verb tense "going to".
2. The base form of the main verb is always "going to".
3. For negative sentences "not" is added between the auxiliary verb "to be" and the main verb
"going to". See chart.
4. For questions the auxiliary tense "to be" comes before the subject. See chart.

going to be home at ten o'clock.

Am I going to the hospital next week?
Are you going to be home next week?
Are your friends going to help you clean your room later?
Is there going to be hot water when I come home tonight?
Is someone going to buy some milk and cheese?
18. - Then, the teacher writes sentences on the board with ‘’will’’, and with ‘’be going
to’’. Underline with different colors and explain the differences among the verbs. For
example, with going to, you always need to include the verb to be in front of it.
- What is the differences between will and going to?
"Will" implies an uncertain future, a desire. "Going to" is a closer one, much likely to happen. Compare:
A: What will you do when you finish high school?
B: I'm not sure yet. I think I will go to college to study Engineering.
A: Just like your brother?
B: Well, no. He's going to college this year, but he's going to study Economics.
A: Oh, I see.
- Ask student to open their book to chapter 3 on page 30. We are only doing the first
half of the chapter since we are limited in time.
- Explain from activity 1 up until the activity 6 and do two numbers of each exercise
with the whole class by projecting the instructions as well as examples with a
projector. Guide the students while giving the instructions by pointing with a pen
what you are reading or talking about. Tell them clearly that the answers of the first
two questions are projected and get them to write it in their book.
♦ Simple future exercises (35 mins)
- In groups of two, they do the exercises 1 to 6 together, as you walk around and
answer questions.
♦ Closure (5 mins)
- Ask the students to say sentences using the simple future in order to see if they
learned the lesson properly.
- Give feedback to the students and tell them to put their desks back in place.
- Assign the rest of the chapter for homework. They have one week to complete it.
5. Plan B
The students who will have done the work asked will be request to complete plan B.
Written exercise
