A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or invented answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.
- Read the workshop model and contrast tools, closed shoes and photo permission.
- Compare familiar rules and welcome a new person, explaining exceptions and who grants permission.
- Role-play a newcomer and host: give two requirements, one prohibition and one optional action, then ask permission.
Support and extension
Agree on an imaginary place if rules are uncertain. Mustn't is forbidden; don't have to is unnecessary but allowed. Keep permission questions distinct from requirements.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
