Main Aim(s) (state from the students’ perspective; include context and, where appropriate, specific language items, sub-skill terminology and how
students will use the language):
By the end of the lesson students should be able to differentiate between obligations and permissions.

Subsidiary Aim(s) (as above, be specific in items and sub-skills, etc.):


To develop the student's speaking skills in context of language used to make obligations and ask for
permission.

Evidence:
I will know if my aims have been achieved if the students were able to complete the controlled written
practice and justified their answers, and if they were able to complete the final communicative activity.

Personal Aims
In this lesson, I, as the teacher, will be working on improving: I hope to achieve this by:

Having a more student centred class. Applying the guided discovery method when
clarifying the meaning to the student.

In this lesson, I, as the teacher, will be experimenting with: Because:

Generating Interest, Assumptions and Anticipated Problems
Generating Interest (How I will get the students interested in the context of the lesson):
I will get the students interested in the context of the lesson by using a picture of a boss and employee, and
ask students to talk to each other about what bosses in general make new employees do.

Assumptions (i.e., points which are important for the lesson but which I think the students already know or can already do and which I will therefore not be
focusing on in my lesson):
This lesson is based on the assumptions that: This is relevant because and/or this is important at

dynamics, timings, technology, etc., which are not included in my plan but which might arise during this lesson) and solutions to them (i.e. how I will react if
these problems arise).

LANGUAGE ANALYSIS SHEET – STRUCTURE: GRAMMAR / FUNCTION
Whenever you to start out to teach a structure (grammar or function), you need to research the language and anticipate any potential difficulties for your students. The below categories should help
guide you. Complete it when appropriate and give it to your tutor along with your lesson plan.

Language area:
giving obligations and permissions.

Context:
Two pictures one is for a nice boss, and the other for a mean boss. Students have to elicit the meaning of
obligations and permissions, by the idea that the nice boss always give you permission, and the mean boss
always giving you obligations to do.

Target sentence(s) from the lesson (include affirmative, negative and interrogative if relevant):

Positive: You're supposed to work this Saturday.


Negative: You're not supposed to work this Saturday.
Interrogative: Are you supposed to work this Saturday.

Positive: You're allowed to take next Saturday off.


You're not allowed to take next Saturday off.
Are you allowed to take the next Saturday off?

Positive : They let me do it.


Negative: They didn't let me do it.
Interrogative: Did they let me do it?

Positive: They made us work on extra movies


Negative: They didn’t make us work on extra movies
Interrogative: Did they make us work on extra movies?

What does the structure mean? (Please state in student-friendly language):
1-When you're Supposed to do something it means you're expected to do something .
2-When someone make you to do something, he's basically telling you have to follow his rule. And you don’t
have a choice.
3- when someone let you do something, they are giving you permission to do it.
4- when someone allow you to do something also he is giving permission to do something that usually is not
your choice.

Describe how you will convey and elicit the language and how you will check students have understood:
I will present to the students Two pictures one is for a nice boss giving permission to an employee and the will
ask them to find the differences between the two picture, i will ask the students what is the mean boss doing?
Giving the employee so much to do, do you think that the employee have a choice of saying no, or he does he
have to do it? He can't say no because it an ---teacher elicits obligation,

picture, what do you think about the second boss? He is nice. Why? because he is giving the employee a day
off? Can the student take the day off by himself? No. What does he need to take the day off? Teacher elicits—
permission.
You are supposed to work this Saturday.
You are allowed to take the next Saturday off.
I will ask students CCQs to check for their understanding.
