Students learned about giving advice using the modal verb "should".
The teacher presented examples such as "You should get a part time job" and "You should pay attention in class".
Students then practiced rearranging sentences using the structure Subject + Should + Verb + Complement.
As a production activity, students worked in pairs to write three pieces of advice each for three teenagers with problems, using "should".

say what it is, ok? Is it clear? Do we
have to say the word in Spanish?
S-T: Very good, girls! That was
excellent! Did you like the game?
I like this image because she is a
teacher, like me. Do you want to be
a teacher? Or maybe a nurse? What
do you want to be in the future?
Look at the images, what do you
think we are going to talk about
today? Think about it for a few
seconds… Are we going to talk

S-T: Dear Camila, I hope you are
ok. I think I need some advice. I do
not know what to do… I am trying
to save money to go to a concert
next month. I sold my old CD’s and
shoes but I need more money. I do
not know what to do… I need to
buy a ticket!
Please help me, Camila… What
should I do to have more money? I
really need you help.
Love, Valentina.
S-T: I immediately called her and
said, Valentina, I think you should
get a part time job… If you want
money to buy a ticket, you should
work in a fast-food restaurant or
something similar.
Good luck, Camila.
S-T: What was my advice? What
did I say?
S-T: Very good! That was brilliant,
girls! When we want to give advice,
we use the modal verb should. For
example: If someone is sleepy, you
say ‘you should get some sleep’ or

S-T: Good morning everyone, how
are you today? Did you have fun

You did an excellent job at home! I
am going to give you your

think about it.
S-T: Very good Madeleine, we
talked about professions and giving
advice. So what do you think we are
going to talk about today? Sports?
Fashion?
S-T: Today we are going to give
advice for everyday situations using
should, ought to, and had better,
written.
S-T: I want to tell you something
that happened to me. Last week,
when I was dancing cueca with my
cousin, I saw people laughing and I
understood why. They were
laughing because my cousin is not
very good at dancing cueca. So I
told him, ‘you should learn how to
dance cueca’. He did not get angry,
and he was laughing and making
jokes about it. It was a very fun day.
Next day, I was having lunch with
my family and my cousin was really
tired for all the food and dancing of
the previous day, so my sister told
him ‘you ought to get some sleep”
and so he went to sleep. And then,
the same day, I asked my sister
where the Chilean flag was. I said,
where is the flag, Pauli? Every
house had a flag, except our house.
25 min T-S
T-Ss
23. S-T asks Ss to name the modal
verbs they recognized from the
story.
S-T uses CCQ’s to check
understanding of the new
language.
We did not have a Chilean flag! I
said Pauli, we had better hang a
Chilean flag in the window! Or we
will have to pay a fine because it is
the law. In the end, everything was
ok, and we did not have any
problems. It was a good week.
S-T: Did you like the pieces of
advice? How many did you see?
One advice? More than one advice?
S-T: Excellent! Very good, girls!
When we want to give advice, we
have 3 options. The difference is
that should and ought to can be used
similarly, we use both to say it is the
right thing to do. Had better is
different because it has a negative
connotation. It means if you do not
follow the advice something bad
can happen. Let’s see the form of
these modals.
S-T: Now that you saw the 3 ways
to give an advice, do you think they
are the same or different? Is should
the same as had better?
S-T: Now, write down the sentence
structure and the examples in your
copybook.
24. PRACTICE
PRODUCTION
S-T gives Ss the instructions for
the activity, sets time and checks
understanding of the instructions
with CCQ’s.
S-T uses peer correction to check
the activity with the whole class.
S-T gives them time to reflect on
their work.
S-T asks Ss to produce a letter to
a friend using the new language.
S-T: Now work with your partner.
In the first part you have to
complete the sentence with the
correct alternative. When you are
ready, go to part 2 and complete the
dialogues with the corresponding
modal verb to give advice. In part 3
you have to match the problem with
the corresponding advice. And
finally, in part number 4 you have
to read the situations and give 3
pieces of advice for each person.
You have 25 minutes to complete
this activity. You can start now.
Remember you can use dictionaries
or ask me if you need any help. Is it
clear? Very good, Michelle!
S-T: Ok, no more time, girls. We
are going to check the activity now.
You are going to check your
classmate’s work. Let’s see, If you
want to be a nurse… very good,
Camila! If you want to be a nurse
you ought to be nice to people, so
letter C. The correct alternative is
letter C you ought to.
S-T: Check your work with the
answers on the board. You have a
few seconds to discuss with your
partner about your mistakes.

Pre - S-T asks Ss to play a game called
Bankrupt and gives the instructions
orally and in written.
S-T: First of all, we are going to
play a game. We are going to
divide the class in three teams
(rows) A, B and C. The game is
called ‘bankrupt’ and the idea is
that you get as much money as
you can. Each flashcard has the
name of a job. You have to
choose one job and say it out loud
so everyone in the classroom can
hear. You can get money or get
‘bankrupt’ (you lose all your
money) and ‘donation’ (you give
the money to another group).

S-T asks Ss to predict what the
lesson is going to be about from
the previous activity and writes
their ideas on the board.
S-T gives Ss the worksheet and
asks them to skim the text to check
their predictions.
S-T asks Ss to scan the text and
look for specific information.
S-T re – reads the worksheet with
the Ss.
S-T asks Ss about the meaning of
the text.
S-T gives Ss 20 minutes to
complete the exercise and offers
help.
Ok, are you ready to play? Let me
give you an example first.
S-T: That was excellent, girls!
Congratulations to the winner!
Now to the second activity!
S-T: What do you think we are
going to talk about today? What
were the words in the game?
Countries? Colours?
S-T: Today we are going to work
with this worksheet, ok? I want
you to give it a quick look and to
see if you were right with your
predictions.
S-T: Now I want you to look for
any new words in the text. Is
there any new words in this text?
S-T: Ok, so we have a cashier and
nurse… we know those jobs…
what about the third? Interpreter.
Is that a new word?
S-T: So what is this text about?
We know it is a about jobs, but
what else?
S-T: Ok, you have 20 minutes to
complete the worksheet.
Remember this is individual
work. Do you need dictionaries?
I have dictionaries for you.

S-T gives back Ss’ work and gives
them a few minutes to think about
their performance.
S-T presents a charade activity.
S-T gives and writes the
instructions on the board.
S-T gives Ss their checked
homework and closes the lesson.
S-T: Ok, no more time, girls! I
need your worksheets. Do not
worry if you did not finish, it is
ok. We are only going to check
what you have done, ok?
You are going to check someone
else’s work, as we always do,
remember?
S-T: Now that you have your own
worksheets I want you to think
about your performance. How
many good and bad answers?
Why? Did you need more time?
Or it was too difficult? Think
about it for a moment. It is
important that you do it.
S-T: The last activity is going to
be a charade activity related to
the vocabulary (jobs). One of you
is going to be a mime and the rest
of your team is going to guess,
ok? You have to use gestures
without speaking, just like
mimes. Each team has 3 chances
to guess the job, while the other
teams are quiet.
Congratulations to the winner of
the game! You were really good!
That was the last activity, girls.
S-T: I have your crosswords here
and I re-checked them. Pick yours
and pass them on. And before the
ring bells, we had three activities
today. Can you tell me the
activities?

31. POST LESSON COMMENTS :
How did the lesson come out in relation to what you have planned? Refer to: aims, anticipated problems, time, students’ motivation,
organization, setting up tasks.
The aim mentioned just one activity, so I had to fix it to include the last activity.
I was extremely late and we lost approx. 20 minutes, so I had to push my Ss a little more than usual.
My students were really motivated and supportive, not only because my university teacher was there but also because they
understood the language and the activities were engaging.
My instructions were not very clear, there are always students that do not understand what they have to do.
I have problems when asking questions because most of the time they are too confusing for my students.
What would be the aspects you need to improve in the planning and development of future lessons?
Timing: be on time and do my best in the 90 minutes of the lesson.
Learn how to use the board in an organized way so that my students can keep track of what I write.
Have clear instructions. I need to create more precise and concise instructions written and orally.
Improve the closing of the lesson and finishing activities.

48. STANDARDS 2 & 3
Task 2:
When planning my classes I always consider my students behaviour in
the classroom and the level of motivation and participation they usually
present. When I first arrived at Liceo de Niñas I thought my students would be
very difficult to deal with but truth is, they are very polite and respectful. I
have to say it helps me a lot when preparing my lessons because I do not have
to worry so much about classroom management, and focus on the activities for
them instead. I have noticed my students have a very passive attitude in their
learning process, and I do not blame them at all, because unfortunately that is
how they have been taught for the past few years. With a few exceptions, my
students were used to write down everything in their copybooks and work on a
few worksheets.
For the past two months, I have been trying to change that and use a
more communicative approach with my students so they can participate more
actively in their learning process. I try to relate the contents with both my own
personal experiences and theirs (as I do not know them very well yet); I make
Ss work in pairs or groups and we also check activities in groups and as a
whole class, so they all feel part of their own learning process. I always give
them new words to increase their vocabulary and explain them with a short
story or anecdote so they can easily remember it. I try to be as active and
supportive as I can be and I try to reflect it on my lessons and activities. When
I started doing my classes, my students were very reluctant to ask me to
explain again or to ask me for help in general. It is completely different now; I
barely have time to take a seat and I like that because I can tell my students
49. feel very comfortable with me. Although they are more active than before, I
need to keep working on that so they understand the importance of asking and
participating in class.
I also consider timing and the possible problems the school may
present. For example, I hardly use the textbook because my students never
carry it with them, and even though my guide teacher asked them to bring it
every week, they do not do it. Another problem is that the lab does not work
properly and even though you arrive early to get everything ready there is
always a problem and the students do not do much work on the lab. They tend
to be more difficult to manage when we use the lab.
I also try to include things they like or are interested into, for example in
this unit I included jobs, apart from the most common, that they would like to
have in the future as a way to keep them on track and focused on their next
goal which is go to university.
50. Task 3:
Planning is very difficult to me because I did not plan a class for more
than 6 months and I think I never learnt to do it very well. The design of the
class it is by far more complicated than actually doing it at school, because of
all the details we have to take into consideration. I know it is the lack of
practice what makes planning a really difficult task which is why I have been
checking and fixing my work.
When planning the unit I had to ask for help; my guide teacher at
school, some of my classmates and friends who are already teachers answered
me questions and gave me few tips to give a good class. I also search online to
get new ideas and experiences I could use at school to help me feel more
confident with my performance. I think it was the best thing I could have done
because it has helped me a lot this past two months, and I hope I can count
with their support in the future. Another problem I had at the beginning of the
course was that my laptop broke and, apart from losing much information, I
had to struggle for more than a month without a laptop to work at home.
Unfortunately and because of that I lost time I could have used to prepare my
lessons more properly.
On the other hand, I believe one of my strengths is preparing materials.
My students usually like them and ask me to give them more worksheets and
activities like the ones I use. I spend a lot of time preparing my materials
because I tend to be very meticulous; I like adding images and colours so that
my students like my activities and worksheets. I also try to mix and use both
materials I got online, and material I have designed because of two reasons:
first, my students do not work very well when they have a worksheet taken
51. from the book or online, and second, because nor the books or the material
online know my students as I know them. They do not like old and repetitive
materials because they feel teachers have not taken any time to prepare the
lesson and therefore they do not feel motivated enough.
Although I keep making mistakes, I think my ideas and materials are
working very well at school because even my guide teacher has asked me to
use them with the other courses she teaches (a little bit of help for her as well).
