I think I should + (verb)
Step 1: Warm-up (Real-life Situations)
- Begin by asking students:
"When do you feel you should do something?"
(Examples: When you are late? When you are sick? When you want to improve yourself?) - Show 3-4 images or short video clips of different situations and ask:
"What should they do?"
Step 2: Introduce the Structure
Write on the board:
✅ "I think I should + (verb)"
🔹 Meaning: We use this phrase to express what we believe is the right action to take.
🔹 Example:
- "I think I should study more."
- "I think I should eat healthy food."
- "I think I should call my friend."
Give students a fill-in-the-blank activity:
✔️ "I think I should _______ because _______."
Example Answers:
- "I think I should sleep early because I have an exam tomorrow."
- "I think I should exercise because I want to be healthy."
Step 3: Interactive Pair Activity (Role Play)
📌 Situation-Based Discussion:
- Pair up students and give them situation cards (or display scenarios).
- Each student should think and respond using "I think I should + (verb)."
- Example situations:
- You have a lot of homework.
- You forgot your friend’s birthday.
- You feel unwell today.
🔹 Example Dialogue:
Student A: "I feel tired all the time."
Student B: "I think you should get more sleep."
Step 4: Class Survey (Movement-Based)
- Give each student a paper with an incomplete sentence:
"I think I should _______ because _______." - They must walk around the class and ask 3-5 classmates what they think they should do.
- They write down answers and share them with the class.
Step 5: Fun Game – ‘Agree or Disagree?’
- Teacher says a sentence, e.g., "I think I should study all night before an exam."
- Students move to one side of the room if they agree and to the other side if they disagree.
- Each side explains their reason using the target structure.
Step 6: Wrap-up (Reflection & Homework)
✅ Ask students:
- "What do you think you should do to improve your English?"
- "What do you think you should do to stay healthy?"
Homework:
- Write 5 sentences using "I think I should + verb" based on their real life.
- Ask family members "What do you think I should do?" and write their responses.
