Step 1: Introduction (Warm-up)
- Start by asking students:
"What do you say when you want to stop someone from doing something together?"- Example: "Shall we go out in the rain?"
- Expected answer: "No, let's not go out in the rain."
- Write "Let's not + (verb)" on the board and explain that it is used to suggest not doing something.
Step 2: Explanation with Examples
Provide simple examples:
- Let's not eat junk food. (To suggest avoiding junk food)
- Let's not waste time. (To suggest using time wisely)
- Let's not make noise in class. (To remind about classroom discipline)
Use gestures and real-life situations to make it relatable.
Step 3: Interactive Activities
1. Picture Prompt Activity
- Show different pictures (e.g., a person throwing garbage, students using mobile phones in class).
- Ask: "What should we not do?"
- Guide students to answer using "Let's not..."
- Example: (Picture of littering) → "Let's not throw garbage on the road."
2. Role-play (Pair Activity)
- One student suggests an activity (e.g., "Let's go swimming.")
- The other student responds using "Let's not..." (e.g., "Let's not go swimming; it's too cold.")
- Swap roles.
3. Guessing Game
- Teacher acts out an activity (e.g., sleeping in class, running in the library).
- Students guess and say, "Let's not sleep in class."
4. Debate Activity
- Split the class into two groups.
- One group gives positive suggestions ("Let's go on a trip.").
- The other group counters using "Let's not..." ("Let's not go on a trip because it's too expensive.")
Step 4: Practice with Writing & Speaking
- Writing: Ask students to write 5 sentences using "Let's not..." related to school, home, or society.
- Speaking: Students share one of their sentences aloud.
Step 5: Fun Closing Activity (Rapid Fire Round)
- The teacher says an activity: "Go to bed late!"
- Students quickly respond: "Let's not go to bed late!"
