produce in your activate stage teaching ideas
a) If it rains tomorrow, I’ll buy an umbrella.
i) First conditional
ii) It is used for a
‘real’ situation in the future that is possible, probable, or even certain,
once the condition has been satisfied. In this case, it is possible that there
may be rain tomorrow.
iii) 1. Nuclear bunker
role-play- Students pretend there is only one more space in a bunker and have
to explain why they should get the last spot in the first conditional form.
2. Chain conditionals-
Students take turns to continue a first conditional sentence.
iv) 1. If I live, I
will sing songs to keep away boredom and entertain people.
If I survive, my
knowledge of medicine will save us from disease.
2. If I wake up late,
I’ll miss the bus. If I miss the bus, I’ll miss 1st period. If I
miss 1st period, I’ll get detention. If I get detention, I’ll get in
trouble.
b) If I had studied harder, I would have passed the test.
i) Third conditional
ii) It refers to a
hypothetical past action or non-action) and the hypothetical past
consequence/result. In this sentence, the person could have passed the test but
since he didn’t study harder, he/she didn’t.
iii) 1. Regrets-
Students write down three things that they wish they had done in the past in
the 3rd conditional form.

of important events that helped shaped them to be who they are now. Have them

graduated from college, I would have been a miserable person.

boyfriend, I would have not been married.
c) If I had studied medicine, I would be a doctor.
i) Mixed conditional
ii) It refers to a
hypothetical past action or state, and the hypothetical present consequence.
The sentence describes something he/she could have changed in the past (studied
medicine), and the possible present consequence that past change would have
caused (become a doctor).
iii) 1. What a
question! – Give students moral dilemmas in the mixed conditional form to
discuss.
2. Picture this-
Students are give two pictures and must produce a mixed conditional sentence
from the pictures.
iv) 1. If you had
found a wallet with $1,000, what would you do with it?
If I had found it, I would give it to the
police. Or I would donate it to charity if I had found
it. Or If no one had claimed after 30
days, I would keep it.

washing a dog, and picture 2 is the girl stepping back while the dog shakes off
the water.

would be wet.
d) If I inherited a million dollars, I would buy a new
house.
i) Second conditional
ii) It communicates a
present or future ‘unreal’, hypothetical situation that is presently not true
and is unlikely ever to be true. In this sentence, unless this person was an
heir to a millionaire, it is very unlikely that this person will ever inherit a
million dollars.
iii) 1. What would
happen if…? - In groups, students respond to different second conditional
sentences. Then they predict how the other group will answer.

actions and facts that are irrefutable. In this case, it is absolutely certain
that you get ice when you freeze water.
iii) 1. Split
sentences- Cut various zero conditional sentences in half and mix them up so
that the students can put them back together again.
2. Perfect Conditions-
The teacher says a consequence and students must come up with possible conditions
in the zero conditional form that could lead to that consequence. For fun,
students could compete to see who comes up with the most creative.
iv) 1. If there is no
sunlight
tomorrow is Tuesday.
If it is Monday
today
it is in the air.

Task 6 – Give 3 activate stage teaching ideas for reported
speech, giving examples of sentences you
would expect your students to produce during each activity.
1. Telephone- Students form a line, and the first
student in line makes up a random sentence and whispers it quietly to the next.
Then that student repeats that sentence to the next student except it is in
reported speech form. As it goes down the line, the sentence becomes more and
more convoluted. The last person in line tells the class what he/she heard.
1st student (Jane): I saw a purple dog.
2nd student (Ricky): Jane said that she has
seen a purple dog.
3rd student (Tom): Ricky said that Jane has
seen a purple dog. And so on…
2. Media interviews- Student role-play a news anchor
and report third parties speech.
For example, In
today’s news, Sarah Palin said that she would not be running for president this
year.
3. Higher level students are asked to make a list of
verbs that can replace the ‘reporting’ verb, such as say, admit, tell, deny,
etc. Each group is then given a collection of direct speech sentences. The
students must choose one of those ‘reporting’ verbs and alter the sentence to
‘reported’ speech.
For example, “I
love the movie Bee!”
Susan shouted/exclaimed that she loved the movie Bee.
