Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes
Retrieve before checking
a) Aims
Ss recall the key words and one structure of Unit 10 from memory, and identify the type of their own mistakes before the teacher explains the content.
b) Content
Ss cover the Key Words panel and the grammar boxes in their Student's Book. Ss write down 5 words from Unit 10 and 1 structure they have learned. Then they check their answers with the panel and classify each mistake as: meaning, word form, word order or missing information.
Guiding questions from T:
- Which word means a machine that washes plates and bowls?
- Which structure do we use to make a prediction?
- What is the difference between will not and might not?
c) Expected outcomes
Ss' list of 5 words, for example: appliance, wireless, solar energy, smart TV, dishwasher (or any 5 words from the unit). Ss' structure, for example: The house might not have a garden. Ss' error classification, for example: Our house not will use a coal fire is a word order error because will not must come before the verb.

Step 1: Task delivering
T asks Ss to cover the Key Words panel and the grammar boxes. T says: Write 5 words and 1 structure from Unit 10 from memory in 2 minutes. T shows the timer.
Students
Ss cover the panel and the grammar boxes, then write their 5 words and 1 structure in their notebooks.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T walks around the class and checks Ss' lists without correcting them yet. T reminds Ss to write only the words they remember.
Students
Ss uncover the panel and check their lists. They mark each mistake with a symbol: M (meaning), F (word form), O (word order) or I (missing information).
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T asks 2–3 Ss to read their words and say what kind of mistake they made. T asks: Which mistake did you make most often?
Students
Ss read their lists aloud. Expected answer: 'I wrote dishwasher correctly, but I wrote will not uses instead of will not use, so it is a word form mistake.'
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T confirms the key points: 'After will and might, we use the bare infinitive. We never add -s or to. Will not is the same as won't.' T says the unit review will focus on these rules.
Students
Ss note the rules in their notebooks and correct their own mistakes.
