1. Presentation of the Topic

Class, our topic for today is all about
Modals. Based from your activity earlier,
those words being underlined are called
Modals. Answers may vary.

Now, do you know what modal is?

Okay before defining what is modal, let’s

have first our today’s words to learn.
2. Words to Learn
Class, as you can remember, we had a
spelling activity earlier. Those spelled
words were the terms that we could
encounter in the discussion. But class, in
order to discover the definitions of each
word. I need first 5 volunteers.

So, here’s my instruction. I have here five

definitions of the words you have spelled
earlier. Those five volunteers will match
these definitions to the corresponding word.
So volunteers please come in front and start
matching it.

 Permission- agreement to allow

something to happen.
 Obligation- the state of being under
a moral or legal duty to do
something.
 Probability- something that is likely
to happen or exist.
 Possibility- something that is
possible.
 Necessity- the condition of being
needed or required.

3. Discussion and Application

(Note: Discussion and application will be

integrated since I am engaging in a
discovery approach.)

Now class, I have a challenge for you. But

first, proceed to your groups (5 groups)
before I will give my instruction.

I have here 5 rolled papers. Each paper

contains two modals and a scenario, which
means the modals you have will be used in
a scenario, of course. So, to avoid bias.
Let’s have draw lots!

Okay, since each group has its modals. I

will give you 10 minutes to finish the task.

So, the challenge starts now!
