This lesson plan is for a 4th year secondary school class with 25 students focused on future tenses. The lesson will include reviewing future tenses through a warm up activity and video. Students will then play an auction game in groups where they bid on sentences using future tenses. Finally, the sentences will be reviewed and the group that bought the most correct sentences will be declared the winner. The lesson incorporates a variety of activities, resources, and strategies to engage students and assess their understanding of future tenses.

2. Teaching points: Future tense

discussing with classmates and bidding during the game.

Teaching approach: The lesson is based on the communicative approach.
Pedagogical use of ICT in class: The lesson plan includes a video which is available at the following
link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyATAodMDrQ. I will download the video to my
computer just in case there is no internet connection.
Materials: image for the warm up section, video, computer, projector, loudspeakers, 6
photocopies of sentences (1 per group and one for me), cards as money, poster, cards
with headings.
Seating arrangement: During the first part, students will sit individually. Then, they will
work in groups of five.
Cooperative work: Students will work cooperatively nearly the whole class. They will
have to agree on which sentences are correct and then they will have to decide how much
they can spend in each sentence.
Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class:
Students may become excited when working in groups. I will call their attention if they

3. shout and explain that if they do not participate in an appropriate way, we cannot go on
playing.
Potential problems students may have with the language: I do not think there might be
problems with language. The structures have been introduced previously. In addition,
working in groups may be positive for students who find it difficult to understand the game
or the sentences.
Assessment: what will be assessed and how: During the game, I will assess their
participation. Then when explaining the sentences, I will check if they have understood the
structures presented the previous classes by paying attention to their comments. In this
opportunity I will not take register of their production, except that they do not work in class.

4. Routine: (2min)
I will go into the class and greet my students as I always do. Hello, Good morning!
Warm up (3 min)
I will show students the following image and say: “I have never attended an auction.
What about you? And you parents?”
The photo will help students to understand the concept. I expect students to say if
they or someone they know have ever been at one.
Transition: Well, now, let´s see a funny video!
Presentation: (5min)
I will invite students to watch the video in order to clarify the concept of auction.
Now, you are going to watch a video! Pay attention to see which the object being sold is.
Immediately after that, I will show students a hilarious video which is available at the following
link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyATAodMDrQ
Note: I will stop the video after 30 seconds.
Transcript:
Next item. A Ming vase. Starting at 500.000 Euros. Please start bidding. 600.00 from the
gentleman at the back row. 700.000 on the phone. 800.000 lady in the front. 900.000 on the
phone. One million! Any other bidding? No? One million for the first, the second, the third time.
Sold!

5. After the video finishes, I will say: “That was an auction. So, what did the man wanted to sell?” EA:
a vest. T: “Good! And what was the highest bid?” I expect students to say “one million” T: Right!
Finally, I will ask: “Could he sell it?” EA: no! T: “Right! The man could not sell it because he broke
it!”
Transition: Now, let´s play a game...er... sorry! Let´s go to the auction!
Activity 1:
Auction – (23 min) Part 1 (GAME)
I will write on the blackboard “Sentences Auction!” Then I will explain: Now, we are going to
participate in an auction. I will sell sentences and you will have to bid only for correct sentences.
The group who buys more correct sentences is the winner! Then, I will ask students to form groups
of 5 students. As they are 25 students, there will be 5 groups.
After they form groups, I will give them a list of sentences and some minutes to analyze them and
decide which of the sentences are correct. I will explain: “There are 12 sentences. Study them and
decide which of them you want to buy because you are sure that they are correct. Careful! Do not
tell the rest of the class. Talk and decide with the members of your group”
The sentences will be:
1- I’m eating at Paul´s house on Saturday at ten.
2. Look at that man on the roof. He’ll fall!
3. These black clouds tell me it’s going to rain.
4. Next year, I am going to study law
5. I will play tennis with Jamie, my best friend, next Sunday at 10.
6. Italy will win the World Cup in 2018.
7. I’m going to the concert tonight.
8. Next year I’m going to do more exercise.
9. What will you do tonight?
10. Robots will replace teachers in 2050
11. I am going to go the dentist next Monday at 16.15.
12. Those bags are too heavy! I’ll help you!
Correct sentences: 1, 3, 4, 6,7,8,10,12
Activity taken and adapted from: www.teachingenglish.org.uk

6. After a few minutes, I will allocate $10.000 to each team. For this purpose, I will prepare cards
with numbers as it follows. I will repeat that they should not attempt to buy incorrect sentences
and that bids increase in $500.
After instructions have been explained, I will read any of the sentences from the list. For this
purpose, I will have the sentences cut as individual items. I will say. “Let´s start! I´m eating at
Paul´s house on Saturday at ten. $500. Who bids more??” I will repeat the sentence and wait until
somebody offers and I will shout: $500 at 1, $500 at 2. $500 at 3 . Sold! When the sentence is sold,
I will give them the sentence and they will have to pay for it.
I will do the same with all the sentences until they are sold.
Transition: I am a perfect auctioneer! I have sold all the sentences! Now, let´s see who the winner
is.
Part 2: Correction.(20 min)
In order to check which sentences are correct and to see who the winner is I will take a poster to
the class with the following columns:
$500
FUTURE TENSES
GOING TO+ INF WILL+ INF PRESENT
CONTINOUS

7. I will stick the poster on the blackboard and I will read the first sentence, T: I´m eating at Paul´s
house on Saturday at ten. Is this a correct sentence? EA: yes! T: Very good! It is an arrangement,
therefore we use Present continuous.
After that, I will ask which group has bought the sentence and ask one member of that group to
come and stick the sentence on the poster.
I will repeat the same with all the sentences. However, if the sentence is incorrect we will not stick
it on the poster.
After all sentences have been explained and before deciding who the winner is, I will show them
these cards:
While showing the card “arrangements” I will ask: “Where should I stick this heading?” I expect
students to say under the third column. I will do that and repeat the same with the following
sentences.
After the poster is finished, I will ask two students, to display the poster where all of them are able
to see it. The poster will help visual learners to remember the correct use of the target structures
since it summarises the use of future tenses.
Finally, we will count how many correct sentences could buy each of the groups. I will say: “so, the
winners are...Claps for them!” In case that there are two or more groups with the same number of
sentences, the winner will be the one who has got more money.

8. Wrap up (4min)
In order to close the lesson, I will do the following activity to make students reflect about their
own learning process.
I will explain: “Think about things that you can or cannot do. If you are able to do it really well,
circle number 1. If you can do it with difficulty, circle number 2. Finally, if you cannot do it, circle
number 3.
When they finish, I will collect the papers and take them home in order to see how they feel with
the topic being taught.
Closure: (3min)
I will encourage students to tidy the room and to put their things into their bags. I will greet
students and wish them a nice Student´s Day!
