The lesson plan (includes activities based on different techniques) that I prepeared to teach pupils the 2nd conditional

1. Teaching «2nd conditional»

2. Lots of
money
Helping
poor people
A sport car
A big house
A world map

3. Draw a picture
“presenting the new language in a meaningful
context.”
 when presenting the 2nd conditional, I draw a
picture of little girl with thought bubbles of lots of
money, a sports car, a big house, a world map and
helping people.
 I ask my students what I'm thinking about and then
introduce the target language.
 I practise and drill the sentence orally before writing
it on the board (positive, negative, question and
short answer).

4. 1. If I were taller … I wouldn't have to wear high-heeled
shoes
2. I'd buy a new computer… … if I had enough money.
3. How would you feel if… … you lost your job?
4. If you could visit any country in the
world
… where would you go?
5.He'd be really upset… … if he knew about the theft.
6. I'd marry him tomorrow… … if I thought he really loved me.
7. I'd forgive you… … if you apologized.
8. If I didn't feel so ill, … I'd come to the party with you.

5. Controlled practice
 Students work in groups
 I give students some mixed-up sentences.
(conditional sentences with a question and answer)
 Students are asked to put them correct order

6. Freer practice
 Students are asked to talk in groups about what they
would buy or wouldn’t buy if they were rich.

7.  1. What would you do if you found £100 in the
street?
 2. What would you do if you saw your
boyfriend/girlfriend’s diary left open?
 3. What would you do if your friend arrived at a party
wearing a horrible new dress and asked you “how do
I look”?

8. Personal questions
 I would try to personalize the lesson by giving
students a list of question prompts to ask others in
the class.
