I don't know why to + (verb)

Step 1: Warm-up Activity (Engagement)

1. Ask a Simple Question:

   • "What are some things you don't know how to do?"
   • Example responses: I don’t know how to cook. I don’t know how to swim.

2. Introduce the Structure:

   • Write the phrase on the board: "I don’t know why to + (verb)"
   • Give an example: I don’t know why to wake up early on Sundays!

Step 2: Guided Practice (Teacher-Led)

1. Contextual Sentences (Fill in the Blanks)

   • Provide partially completed sentences and let students complete them:
     • I don’t know why to __________ (study/skip school/work so hard).
     • She doesn’t know why to __________ (wear a uniform/say sorry/learn math).

2. Picture Prompts

   • Show pictures of confusing situations and ask students to form sentences using the phrase.
   • Example: A picture of a person looking confused at a menu → I don’t know why to choose pizza or pasta!

---

Step 3: Pair Work (Student-to-Student Interaction)

1. Ask and Answer Activity

   • One student asks: Why are you confused?
   • The other replies using the phrase: I don’t know why to buy this phone or that one.

2. Role-Play Situations

   • Give pairs a situation (e.g., "Planning a trip," "Choosing a dress") and have them create dialogues using the phrase.

Step 4: Fun Game (Reinforcement)

"Why So Confused?" Game

• Give students random "confusing" scenarios.
• They must react using "I don’t know why to..."
• Example: Your friend gives you two birthday gifts but asks you to pick one!
  • I don’t know why to choose the red one or the blue one!

Step 5: Real-Life Application (Wrap-Up)

1. Students Write & Share

   • Ask students to write 3 real-life things they are unsure about using the phrase.
   • They share in groups and discuss.

2. Reflection Question

   • "What is one situation where you recently said ‘I don’t know why to...’?"
