Step 1: Warm-up Activity (Context Building)
💬 Discussion Question:
- "Have you ever wanted something so badly that you couldn’t wait for it? What was it?"
- Example answers:
- "I was dying to watch my favorite movie!"
- "I was dying to eat ice cream on a hot day!"
✅ Goal: Make students recall personal experiences to connect with the phrase naturally.
Step 2: Introducing "Dying to"
📝 Explain the meaning in simple terms:
- "Dying to" means you really, really want to do something.
- It expresses strong excitement or eagerness.
📌 Examples:
- "I’m dying to meet my favorite actor!" (Super excited)
- "She’s dying to go on vacation!" (Really wants to go)
- "He was dying to tell me the secret!" (Very eager)
💡 Quick Question:
- "What’s something you are dying to do right now?" (Let students respond)
Step 3: Interactive Practice
🎭 Role-Play Game: "Guess My Feeling"
- Pair up students. One student says a sentence using “dying to” (but without saying the reason), and the partner guesses why.
- Example:
- Student A: "I’m dying to go outside!"
- Student B: "Because it’s sunny and you want to play?"
- Student A: "Yes!" (Or give a clue if incorrect)
📢 Variation: Play as a class, where one student acts and others guess!
Step 4: Sentence Formation Challenge
📖 Fill in the blanks:
- "I’m dying to ____________."
- "She’s dying to ___________."
- "They were dying to __________."
🏆 Game Idea:
- Give pictures or situation prompts (e.g., a concert ticket, a cake, a beach) and have students write or say sentences using “dying to.”
- Example: (Picture of a pizza) → "I’m dying to eat pizza!"
Step 5: Real-Life Connection & Homework
🔗 Make it personal: Ask students to write 3 sentences using "dying to" about things they genuinely want to do.
- Example:
- "I’m dying to visit Goa this summer!"
- "She is dying to buy a new phone!"
📌 Bonus Challenge:
- Record a short video/audio using “dying to” in a sentence and share it with the class!
