I think I should + (verb)

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:

    1. Pair up students and give them situation cards (or display scenarios).
    2. Each student should think and respond using "I think I should + (verb)."
    3. 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?’

    1. Teacher says a sentence, e.g., "I think I should study all night before an exam."
    2. Students move to one side of the room if they agree and to the other side if they disagree.
    3. 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.
