A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or imagined answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.

  1. Read the class-trip model and contrast bringing lunch with arriving by nine.
  2. Ask about responsibilities and rules in a familiar class, club or workplace.
  3. Plan a trip with two necessary and two optional things, then check each other's understanding.

Support and extension

Use required/optional labels. Extend with Who decides?; don't have to does not mean forbidden.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
