This lesson plan is for an 80-minute English class for 1st year secondary students focusing on using will/won't to talk about future predictions. The lesson uses the song "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars to teach conditional sentences and friendship. Activities include listening to identify the song meaning, filling in lyrics, matching chorus lines, correcting lyrics, and identifying future verb forms. Formative assessment is integrated through questioning and worksheet completion. The goal is for students to understand using will/won't for predictions and reflect on supporting friends.

• Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: I’ll use the projector installed in the classroom.

2. • Seating arrangement: The desks will be placed in an auditorium shape. They are only eight
students. But today they will be in different patterns during the lesson.
• Assessment: Understanding will be assessed continuously through the lesson, keeping my
attention on students’ reaction to the activities, asking questions, asking them to tell me what
they have to do or if they understand and use the vocabulary and structures for asking and
answering about routines. Also I’ll ask them to answer their partners’ doubts because I realized
that they don’t pay attention when a peer asks for a doubt and they miss the answer and later
they ask the same.

Count on me – by Bruno Mars

3. If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Whoa, whoa
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
If you tossin' and you're turnin' and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song
Beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will
Remind you
Ooh
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go
Never say goodbye
You know you can
Count on me like one two three
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
And you'll be there
'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Oh, oh
You can count on me 'cause I can count on you
This song is about: ______________________________________________________________
Transition: Do you like it? Good, let’s listen to the song into parts, ok?
Development
Activity #1
Purpose: Listening for finding missing information.
Timing 15’
I’ll ask the students to read the worksheet to identify the possible words to complete the gaps.
Then I’ll play the song up to minute 0:28 to identify the missing words. I strongly believe they will
be able to complete it without any help. If not, I’ll display the missing words in a box to help them.

4. First part of the song: (up to minute 0:28)
If you ever _________ yourself stuck in the _________ of the sea
I'll ______________ the world to ________ you
If you ever find yourself __________ in the _______ and you can't see
I'll be the ________ to guide you
I’ll draw their attention to the phrases and their meanings, asking if they are literal or idiomatic. If
they are idiomatic, they are called metaphors.
What does “being yourself stuck in the middle of the sea”?
What does “being the light to guide you”?
I’ll ask them to think about any metaphors they already know.
To assess this part, I’ll play the song again and I’ll ask the students to complete the worksheet
display on the board taking turns.

Skills: Speaking, listening and writing.
Resources: A board, a marker, a laptop to display the worksheet prepared to project on the board.
Activity #2

Closure
Timing 5’

6. Tch: Ok… great work! Now, let’s go back to the first guess about the meaning or the message of
this song, were you right about it?
I’ll let them discuss about their guesses and compare their thoughts and feelings about friendship.
To guide their discussion I’ll write this question at the end of their worksheet and on the board.
What will you do if a friend needs your help?
Tch: Ok, guys, well done!!! You have worked wonderfully! This is our last lesson together! Hope
you have a great time the rest of the year!
