Now that midterms are over (well, the testing, anyway.  The grading never seems to end.), my grammar classes are blasting into the future!  Today’s lesson was about using be going to to talk about future facts, plans, and predictions.  After the grammar solicitation and a few structured practice drills, I gave my students this worksheet to practice making affirmative statements.

There are nine objects in the backpack:  a baseball, a pencil, a choco pie (Korea’s version of a moon pie), a rabbit, a present, a slice of pizza, a key, some books, and a severed hand.  Students must choose five of these to write affirmative statements answering the question “What are you going to do with that?”

Example answers from my class included “I’m going to eat the pizza for lunch,” and “I’m going to give the hand toy to my friend as a surprise.”

After they write their sentences, students should make pairs and ask each other “What are you going to do with that?” while pointing at the objects on the paper.  Students have to say answers to the question, even if they didn’t write a sentence for the object being pointed at.

Note:  My students seemed particularly amused by the severed hand and the rabbit.
