I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • identify the meanings of six key words: generation, conflict, permission, privacy, compromise, viewpoint
    • explain the difference between must, have to, should, must not, do not have to and had to
    • pronounce contracted forms correctly (I'm, we've, don't, can't) and read the conversation naturally
    • identify the speakers' intentions and the conditions in a short everyday conversation about a family request

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss complete the matching and modal-verb tasks on their own first, then check their answers against the key before discussing with a partner.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to discuss family phone rules, share ideas and agree on a compromise for the group poster.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss propose a practical compromise for a family conflict about phone use, including a solution for homework that needs a phone.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and read the opening exchange, identify its purpose and speakers' intentions, and write a short family agreement using modal verbs.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce contracted forms (I'm /aɪm/, we've /wiːv/, don't /doʊnt/, can't /kænt/), use the six key words, and apply the meanings of must, have to, should, must not, do not have to and had to.

3. Personal qualities

  • Responsibility: Ss take ownership of their own role in group tasks and explain how they will keep an agreed family rule.
  • Kindness: Ss listen respectfully to differing family viewpoints and avoid describing any generation as careless or old-fashioned.
  • Honesty: Ss admit when a rule is unclear or when they need more information, and they ask rather than assume, as speaker B in the model suggests.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Laptop, projector or interactive whiteboard
  • Audio recording of the opening conversation (or teacher's own reading)
  • Worksheet No. 1 and Worksheet No. 2 (printed or projected)
  • Coloured markers and sticky notes
  • NeoEdu online lesson page for the interactive exercises: neoedu.vn/learn/11/english/unit-2-getting-started

2. Students

  • Student's book Tiếng Anh 11 (Global Success), Unit 2
  • Notebook, pen, pencil and eraser
  • A small sheet of paper for the group poster
  • Worksheet handouts

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 7 minutes

Family rules and the generation gap

a) Aims

Ss activate their prior knowledge about family rules and introduce the topic of generation gap through a personal experience.

b) Content

Ss work in pairs and answer the teacher's questions:

  • What rules does your family have about using phones or laptops in the evening?
  • Do the adults and the young people in your family agree on these rules?
    After the pair discussion, Ss share one example with the class.

c) Expected outcomes

Each pair writes down two or three family rules on a sticky note and places it on the board, for example: 'Phones are kept away during dinner.' 'Homework comes before entertainment.' The class identifies one shared rule and one point of disagreement, which leads into the topic.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the title 'The generation gap' on the board and asks: 'What is a generation gap? Can you give an example from your family?' T gives pairs two minutes to discuss.

    Students

    Ss listen to the question and think about their own families.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors the pairs and offers help with vocabulary such as rule, agree and disagree.

    Students

    Ss discuss in pairs and write two or three rules on sticky notes. Possible answers: 'We don't use phones at the dinner table.' 'My grandmother uses her phone to look at family photos.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites two or three pairs to stick their notes on the board and read them aloud. T asks: 'Which rules do most families share? Which rules often cause conflict?'

    Students

    Ss read their notes aloud. Possible answer: 'Most families agree that phones should not be used during dinner, but they disagree about the time for homework.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the good ideas and says: 'Today we will learn how to talk about rules and obligations, and how to make a fair agreement with our family.' T writes the unit title on the board.

    Students

    Ss note the topic and the lesson objectives in their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Key vocabulary

a) Aims

Ss recognise and understand the six key words of the unit and use them in context.

b) Content

Ss complete Part A of Worksheet No. 1 by matching each word with its Vietnamese meaning:

  • generation, conflict, permission, privacy, compromise, viewpoint
    Then Ss read the topic preview and underline the key word in each sentence that contains one.

c) Expected outcomes

Matching key:

  • generation (thế hệ)
  • conflict (mâu thuẫn)
  • permission (sự cho phép)
  • privacy (sự riêng tư)
  • compromise (sự thoả hiệp)
  • viewpoint (quan điểm)
    Ss underline in the topic preview: 'different uses', 'a practical compromise', 'the generation', 'our preferences', 'each person's viewpoint'.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T distributes Worksheet No. 1 (Part A) and asks Ss to match the words with their meanings within three minutes. T reminds Ss to guess the meaning from context before checking the dictionary.

    Students

    Ss read the six words and their meanings silently.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around and checks individual work. T asks: 'What does compromise mean in the sentence about a practical compromise?'

    Students

    Ss match the words and underline key words in the topic preview. Possible answer: 'Compromise means each side accepts a part of what it wants.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on Ss to read the answers aloud and writes the correct matches on the board. T asks: 'Which word describes a difference between a parent and a child?'

    Students

    Ss give the answers. Possible answer: 'Viewpoint describes a difference between a parent and a child.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the matches and models the pronunciation of each word with stress marked. Ss repeat in chorus and individually.

    Students

    Ss repeat the words and write the meanings in their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 18 minutes

Modal verbs of obligation and advice

a) Aims

Ss explain the meanings of must, have to, should, must not, do not have to and had to, and choose the correct modal verb in context.

b) Content

T presents the meaning table (Part B of Worksheet No. 1) and asks Ss to complete it:

  • must (strong obligation judged by the speaker)
  • have to (external requirement)
  • should (advice)
  • must not (prohibition)
  • do not have to (no necessity)
  • had to (past obligation)
    Then Ss discuss this question in pairs: 'When reporting a family agreement, why should we not turn advice into a compulsory rule?'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss complete the table:

  • must = strong obligation judged by the speaker, e.g. 'You must finish by nine.'
  • have to = external requirement, e.g. 'We have to wear an identity card at school.'
  • should = advice, e.g. 'You should explain the task before asking for the laptop.'
  • must not = prohibition, e.g. 'You must not share anyone's password.'
  • do not have to = no necessity, e.g. 'You do not have to cook tonight.'
  • had to = past obligation, e.g. 'We had to finish the display last week.'
    Key idea: advice (should) is not a compulsory rule; reporting a family agreement must keep the difference between advice and obligation.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the six modals on the board and asks: 'Which one shows a strong obligation? Which one shows no need?' T gives Ss the meaning table to complete.

    Students

    Ss look at the examples in the book and think about the meaning of each modal.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs, complete the table, and then discuss the question about advice and compulsory rules. T monitors and prompts with questions such as: 'Is this a rule everyone must follow, or a suggestion?'

    Students

    Ss complete the table with a partner. Possible answer: 'Should is a suggestion, so it is not a compulsory rule.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites one pair to read their table and asks the class to agree or disagree. T clarifies any confusion between must and have to.

    Students

    Ss read their answers and give reasons. Possible answer: 'Must shows the speaker's judgement, while have to shows an outside requirement such as school rules.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the meanings: must = strong obligation judged by the speaker; have to = external requirement; should = advice; must not = prohibition; do not have to = no necessity; had to = past obligation. T emphasises: 'Must not means prohibition, do not have to means no necessity. These two are different.'

    Students

    Ss copy the meaning table and the key sentences into their notebooks.

Activity 2.3: Knowledge formation · 13 minutes

Reading the conversation and contracted forms

a) Aims

Ss pronounce contracted forms correctly and identify the speakers' intentions in the opening conversation.

b) Content

Ss listen to the conversation and repeat the lines. Ss read the four lines aloud in pairs, paying attention to the contracted forms I'm /aɪm/, we've /wiːv/, don't /doʊnt/ and can't /kænt/ in common American speech.
T asks: 'What does speaker A want? What does speaker B agree to? What does A promise to do?'

c) Expected outcomes

Contracted forms identified in the conversation: 'I'm' and 'don't' are not used in the model; 'we've' and 'can't' are used in the explanation of pronunciation. Ss read 'I'm ready, but I haven't finished' correctly with the final consonants preserved.
Speaker intentions:

  • A asks for permission to use the laptop after dinner.
  • B gives permission with a condition: finish by nine and put it away afterwards.
  • A promises to ask again if the task takes longer, rather than assume.
    Expanded forms are also grammatical unless the task requests a contraction.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T plays the recording or reads the conversation as a model, then asks Ss to listen for the contracted forms and write them down.

    Students

    Ss listen and write down the contracted forms they hear.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to practise the conversation in pairs, switching roles. T monitors pronunciation of the final consonants and gives feedback.

    Students

    Ss practise the dialogue in pairs. Possible difficulty: 'can't' pronounced without the final t. T models the sound again.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks two pairs to perform the conversation in front of the class and then asks: 'What is speaker B's condition?'

    Students

    Ss perform the dialogue. Possible answer: 'Speaker B's condition is that A finishes by nine and puts the laptop away afterwards.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the intentions (request, conditional permission, promise) and reminds Ss that expanded and contracted forms are both correct unless the task asks for one form.

    Students

    Ss note the pronunciation points and the speaker intentions in their notebooks.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 15 minutes

Matching and choosing the correct modal verb

a) Aims

Ss apply the vocabulary and modal verb meanings to complete Exercises 1 to 4.

b) Content

Ss do Exercises 1 to 4 from the book individually, then compare answers with a partner:

  1. Match each topic expression with its meaning.
  2. School rules say we ___ wear an identity card. A. have to B. should C. must D. have
  3. You ___ share anyone's password. It is forbidden. A. do not have to B. should C. must not D. have not to
  4. Dinner is ready, so you ___ cook tonight. There is no need. A. must B. have to C. do not have to D. must not

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:

  1. generation – thế hệ; conflict – mâu thuẫn; permission – sự cho phép; privacy – sự riêng tư; compromise – sự thoả hiệp; viewpoint – quan điểm.
  2. A (have to: an external requirement).
  3. D (must not: a prohibition).
  4. C (do not have to: no necessity, not a prohibition).
    Ss explain each answer in one sentence, for example: 'Answer 3 is must not because the action is forbidden.'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T projects Exercises 1 to 4 or asks Ss to open the book, and explains that Ss must choose the answer that matches the meaning, not only the grammar.

    Students

    Ss read the exercises and work individually for about six minutes.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to compare answers with a partner. If the partners disagree, they discuss the reason and check the meaning table. T walks around to help.

    Students

    Ss compare answers and explain their choices. Possible reasoning: 'Option C in Exercise 4 is correct because there is no need to cook, but it is not forbidden.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on Ss to give answers to each exercise. T asks the class to give a thumbs-up if they agree with the answer and a thumbs-down if they do not.

    Students

    Ss give answers and reasons. Possible answer for Exercise 2: 'Have to is correct because the school sets the requirement.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the key and highlights the common mistake: must not does not mean do not have to. T writes the two sentences on the board to contrast them.

    Students

    Ss correct their answers and write the key in their notebooks.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 15 minutes

Analysing the model conversation

a) Aims

Ss analyse the purpose, audience, opening and key details of the model conversation, and summarise it accurately.

b) Content

Ss work in groups of three or four, using Worksheet No. 2 to answer Exercises 6 to 9 about the conversation:

  • A: May I use the laptop after dinner to finish our group display?
  • B: Yes, provided you finish by nine and put it away afterwards.
  • A: Thank you. If the task takes longer, I'll ask rather than assume.
  • B: That would help us avoid a misunderstanding.
    Tasks: state the purpose and audience (6); explain the opening (7); select two useful details (8); write a three-sentence summary (9).

c) Expected outcomes

Suggested answers (teacher checks for equivalent meaning, not an exact match):
6. Audience: the two speakers. Purpose: to handle a concrete request, a response and a condition. Evidence: 'A: May I use the laptop after dinner to finish our group display?' Supporting detail: 'A: Thank you.'
7. The opening is 'A: May I use the laptop after dinner to finish our group display?' It introduces the particular situation before the later details.
8. Two details: (1) 'B: Yes, provided you finish by nine and put it away afterwards.' (2) 'A: Thank you. If the task takes longer, I'll ask rather than assume.' These details are specific and show the exact agreement and the limit, which is more useful than saying only that the topic is important.
9. Summary: A requests the laptop after dinner for a group display. B permits this provided A finishes by nine and puts it away afterwards. A will ask again if more time is needed rather than assume permission.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T distributes Worksheet No. 2 and asks each group to appoint a reporter. T reminds Ss that they must keep the condition 'provided you finish by nine' in their summary.

    Students

    Ss read the conversation and the four tasks, then choose a reporter.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T circulates and asks guiding questions: 'Who is the audience? Is there a condition in B's line?' Groups write their answers on the worksheet.

    Students

    Ss discuss and write answers. Possible answer for Exercise 6: 'The purpose is to ask for and agree on a laptop use with conditions.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites each group reporter to present one answer, and asks the other groups whether they agree. T checks the summary for the condition and for any added information not in the model.

    Students

    Reporters present answers. Possible answer for Exercise 9: 'B permits the laptop use provided A finishes by nine.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the key points: a good summary keeps essential conditions and does not add details that are not in the model. T also reminds Ss that an example is not an observation about the real world.

    Students

    Ss compare their summaries with the teacher's model and revise their work.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Making a family phone agreement

a) Aims

Ss use the modal verbs and the speaker-intention skills of the unit to write a fair family agreement about phone use.

b) Content

Ss work in groups of four to write a short family phone agreement with four lines, using at least one of each: must, should, must not, do not have to. Groups must include a rule for the follow-up question: 'What if homework needs a phone?' Response: explain the task, agree on a time, and distinguish study from entertainment.

c) Expected outcomes

A four-line family agreement written on a poster or sticky notes. Example:

  • We must not use phones during dinner.
  • Parents should check the phone rule with the children after one week.
  • Grandmother does not have to stop using her phone for family photos.
  • If homework needs a phone, we agree on a time and explain the task first.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T presents the situation: 'In your family, some members use phones for homework and others for family photos. Write a fair agreement for the evening.' T gives the model rule and the homework follow-up question.

    Students

    Ss read the situation and the follow-up question, then choose roles in the group.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors groups and checks that each group uses the modal verbs correctly and avoids describing one generation as careless or old-fashioned.

    Students

    Ss discuss and write four lines on the poster. Possible answer: 'We should decide a time for phone-free meals and review the rule after one week.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks each group to present its agreement. T asks the class: 'Is this a rule or advice? Is the compromise practical?'

    Students

    Groups present their posters. Other groups give feedback on the correct use of modal verbs and the fairness of the compromise.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises fair and practical agreements and points out one modal error for correction. T reminds Ss that listening to an explanation does not mean agreeing with every opinion.

    Students

    Ss revise their posters and keep them for the homework review.
