This lesson uses a grammar chant to introduce and practise the grammar needed ('should'/'shouldn't') to offer advice, while focusing on natural pronunciation features of stress and rhythm. The learners have the opportunity to practise the forms in a fun and meaningful context, which they can then go on to use in a small-group activity using problem cards.
Aims
- To introduce and practise 'should' and 'shouldn't' for giving advice
- To encourage learners to practise the natural pronunciation features of rhythm and stress
- To increase learner–learner interaction

I think that the lesson plans should be ok, however, i cannot see them. It would be better if it can be approached more easily than this.

Thank you for this lesson plan
Thank you for this lesson plan. I have used it in my class. My students liked it especially the problem cards. Problem cards activity made my students talk even the ones who are not inclined to talk much in English
I also couldn't find the verb "Blob"
By the way I also couldn't find the verb "Blob" that you used in the chant. I hope you will explain it.
This lesson is indeed good
This lesson is indeed good to teach the use of 'should and 'shouldn't in a fun interesting way.But most my students prefer to use have to, has to instead of 'should'
Mr. Lazy - giving advice
Good lesson plan and problems a way to get students moving through chants. Like it except for the verb "blob" I wouldn't say that would be a high frequency verb.
Nice chant and problem cards but where did the verb "to blob", as in "he shouldn't blob" come from? I can guess a meaning for it but I've never heard it used and can't find any examples of it anywhere, therefore, is it useful to teach it?
