This lesson plan teaches 9th grade students about modal verbs. It includes objectives, materials, procedures and activities. The procedures involve identifying modal verbs like may, might and shall in sentences. A discussion is presented on how modals indicate modality, ability, permission or obligation. Example sentences are given for may, might and shall. Students do activities constructing sentences with modals and identifying the appropriate modal in given sentences. They learn that shall expresses suggestion in yes-no questions, might expresses less probability and may expresses permission, probability or wish.
