๐ฎ Builders: Three Futures, Three Jobs
A fully interactive B1.1 grammar lesson (Future, Input A, from the Builders' Studio series) that gives students a clear map of the three ways English talks about the future. After four warm-up questions, the language focus opens three doors: Door 1, going to + verb for plans and intentions decided before now; Door 2, will + verb for predictions and for offers or decisions made in the moment (with the signal words I think, probably, maybe); and Door 3, the present continuous for fixed arrangements with a time and other people, closing with a function-map rules table and a signals panel. Ten future-related words (plan, prediction, arrangement, intention, offer, probably, decide, definitely, schedule, appointment) appear in a scrollable table with full B1 definitions and examples, and six get review flashcards that include the three forms themselves. The reading is a 150-word Friday scene in which the Builders' Studio cast โ Aylin, Sam, Priya and Marco โ open all three doors in natural context, with key words highlighted on hover. Practice offers eight fill-in-the-blank items where students supply part of a future form (will, going, am, are) or a function word, with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section with five prompts and a six-line model conversation about planning a film night; a guided 40-70 word writing task in which students describe their week using all three forms, with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz mixing form-and-function questions with two comprehension questions on the reading, featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
Lesson Plan
- 4 questions about plans, predictions and arrangements in students' own lives
- Silent thinking or pair-share format โ no writing required
Key Vocabulary
Grammar Points
- going to + base verb = plans and intentions decided before now (I'm going to learn to code)
- will + base verb = predictions (I think it will rain) and offers/decisions made now (I'll help)
- Present continuous (am/is/are + verb-ing) = fixed arrangements with a time and people (I'm meeting Ali at 5)
- Signal words: I've decided โ going to; I think/probably โ will; here, let me โ will (offer); in my diary โ continuous
- The function map: one idea (the future) but three jobs โ choose the form by meaning, not by time
- Contractions: I'll = I will; I'm = I am; she's going to; we're meeting
