Review What was our lesson yesterday?

III. Procedures Teachers Activity A. Drill The teacher let the students read the poem written in the chart.

Our lesson yesterday was about reading closely to get explicit and implicit information.

Very good! In the selection entitled Essay of Reflection, who made the difference in the life of the writer? The teacher, maam. Yes, very good! What medium is used by the writer to put his feelings across? What is the writer eager about? The writer wrote a letter to his teacher to express his feelings. He was eager about his grades, to graduate and moving on to college.

Why is the selection entitled An Essay of Reflection? Very good!

It is because the writer looks back at his life and how it was changed in the present.

Teachers Activity C. Lesson Proper a. Motivation (The teacher shows pictures to the students and asks some motive questions.) Who are in the picture, class? What can you say about the boy and the woman in this picture? If you are the boy in this picture; what will you say to the woman so that you can borrow a book? That is a good answer. But how can you say it in a more polite way? Very good! Look at this picture class, what is the man saying? What is the underlined word here, class? How old was he when he could play soccer, class? What would you do to avoid injury while playing indoor game like soccer, class? Yes, we must be careful not to get hurt while playing any sports. Read this sentence, class?

Students Activity

A boy and a woman, maam.

A boy is borrowing a book, maam.

Can I borrow a book?

May I borrow a book?

I could play soccer when I was five years old. Could, maam. When he was five years old maam.

We should take good care of ourselves. We must be careful.

I might be absent tomorrow because of the flood. Might, maam

What is the underlined word in this sentence, class? Do you have any idea what kind of verb are these words: may, might and could? b. Presentation The teacher presents the new lesson, Using Modals May, Might, Could. c. Discussion What do you mean by modals?

No, maam.

Modal is a helping verb that will help another verb to express a meaning.

From our previous lesson, study how the writer could have said his feelings for her teacher as you read the sentences that follow. Pay attention to the underlined verbs and verb phrases. Read the following sentences under letter A. A. 1) You could not stand students being lazy. 2) You could have disciplined us otherwise, but you did so to well. (the students read the sentences under letter A)

Teachers Activity Notice that could has two uses in the first two sentences. In sentence 1, could is the past tense of can, as used in the essay telling what the teacher did not like in his students. In sentence 2, could is used with the perfect tense have disciplined and expresses the possibility of doing something. What tense of the verb is the modal could in sentence no.1, class? Very good! How about in the second sentence; what is the use of could?

Students Activity (the students listen to the teachers discussion)

Past tense of can, maam.

Could is used with the perfect tense have disciplined and expresses the possibility of doing something.

Very good! Read the following sentences under letter B. B. 1) I wish I may be able to see you again, to thank you for everything. 2) I might have been wayward had it not been for your influence on me. In sentence 1 and 2 under B, the sentences also express possibility using may and might. Is there any difference in the way they are used? Good! What modals are used in sentences under B, class? What do these two sentences express? Very good! What do you mean by possibility? What do the modals may, might and could suggest, class? Very good! Notice, too, that expressing choices make use of modal A modal has only one form for all the persons of the verb, but it can have several meanings and time frames, depending on the context in which it is used. Here are some key points to remember Kindly read and understand especially the examples (the students read the key points) (the students listen to the teachers discussion) Possibility means things that might happen. Modals may and might, maam These two sentences also express possibility. (the students read the sentences under letter B)

Yes, there is.

These modals suggest possible things to happen.

Teachers Activity May is used to indicate: a) Something we feel which will possibly happen Example: He may win the race. b) Something we allow or give permission Example: Yes you may leave now In sentence no.1; what is the verb phrase being used? What does the modal may in this sentence indicates?

Students Activity

may win, maam The modal may indicates that the man will possibly win the race.

In this example, You may leave now. What does it indicates? So, when do we use modal may, class?

It indicates that the person is permitted to go. When something we feel which will possibly happen and something we allow or give permission.

Very good! Read the next key points, class. Might is used to: a) Mean something less likely than may Example: He might win the race. b) Be more polite than may when asking permission Example: Might I see your payment, sir? When do we use the modal might, class? (the students read the next key points)

Might is used to mean something less likely than may.

Look at this example, He might win the race. What does this sentence indicates class, since might is use to mean something less likely than may?

This sentence also indicates that there is possibility for that man to win the race but in a little chance. Might is used to be more polite than may when asking permission.

What is the other use of might, class?

In this example, Might I see your payment, sir? What is the modal in this sentence? Very good! Read the next key point, class. We use could to talk about what was possible in the past, what we were able or free to do. Example: My brother could swim when he was 5 years old. In this sentence, class; My brother could swim when he was 5 years old. What is the modal in this sentence? When do we use modal could, class?

Might, ma'am.

(the students read the next key points)

Could, maam We use modal could to talk about what was possible in the past, what we were able or free to do.
