Hi everybody ;-)
I need your help once again.
I am supposed to attend seminar where I should give a brief presentation on how to teach MUST/MUSTN'T. Other colleagues are going to be my "students" and I was given a couple of exercises to do with them, such as:
Fill in the gaps with must or mustn't
Make a list of 5 things you must/mustn't do when you go to the cinema...
1. Now, I'm not sure whether I should introduce and explain grammar at the very beginnig of the class, or to give them an exercise first, and then precede with grammatical rules.
2. If I decide to do the grammar first, how should I introduce it in a way that's not too boring and conventional. It's not a good idea to say: "Today, we're going to deal with a modal verb MUST..."
3. There are also reading activities. I wonder how to introduce unfamiliar words. Should I put them on the board and explain the meaning before reading? Do you have any interesting ideas?
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you.
