Process
(20 min)
I'm going to give the students a group work after that they will work individually .
Divide the class into pairs or small group. Each group will receive a set of cards with different situations written on them , like ''weather tomorrow'',''technology in 10 years '',''your job in 5 years'', etc.
Students will pick a card and make a prediction using a future form . For example , if they pick ''weather tomorrow'', they might say,''It will rain tomorrow'' or ''It is going to be sunny tomorrow''.
Other group members can agree or disagree, using future forms as well. For instance, "No, I think it will be cloudy" or "Yes, I also think it's going to rain".
Rotate the cards among groups so everyone gets a chance to practice different future forms.
