This lesson plan is for an English course for teenagers at an intermediate level. It focuses on the modal verbs "can" and "could". The lesson will begin by dividing students into groups to read and discuss comic strips containing examples of the target modal verbs. Students will then write reports using indirect speech. Groups will present their reports and the class will analyze the language used. Finally, students will practice the modal verbs by writing example sentences of different functions and explaining their choices.

Class
English course class;
Teenagers;
Intermediate level;
From sixteen to twenty students;
Linguistic items to be
focused
Usage of the modal verbs can and
could;
Indirect speech
Examples
The examples would come from comic
strips, so that the topic would be lighter
to be presented and discussed.
Students could also bring, for another
class, examples from different species,
such as texts, songs or sitcoms.
Comic Strips
Class: step 1 - input
The class would be divided in groups
of four;
Each group would get some (2 to 4)
comic strips;
They would look up new words and
read the comic strips to their group
partners.
Class: step 2 - output
Each one of the group should write a
report about what happened in a
chosen comic strip. This way, they
would practice indirect speech.
One of the written reports should be
chosen to be told to the class by one
of the members of each group.
Class: step 3 - Language
analysis
After students report, the teacher
would ask him/her and the class about
the situation.
Was it a conversation between two
friends or between mother and son?
Is it formal or informal?
Were the characters in the comic strip
being polite?
Were they talking about abilities and
skills?
Class: step 3 - Language
analysis
Ask students to find and underline
the modals can and could;
Sentences where they appeared
should be written on the board and
analyzed: which differences between
the usage of both verbs could the
students notice?
Class: step 3 - Language
analysis
Ask students to find out the function of
the modals: offer, request, permission,
possibility. Write the functions on each
strip.
Lead students to see the pattern of modal
verbs by asking questions:
What comes after modal verbs in the
sentences?
What is the form of the verbs after
modals?
Class: step 4

After the explanations, students


should write one sentence for each
function found and explain their
choice for can or could.
Language analysis
Language analysis would be done again
after the production activity so that
students would get a chance to check
the usage: the meaning and the form.
