Plan to

Step 1: Introduce the Concept (Basic Explanation)
Explain that "plan to" is used to express intentions or decisions about the future.
  • Structure: Subject + plan to + base verb
  • I plan to visit my grandmother tomorrow.
  • She plans to study hard for the exam.

Step 2: Engage with a Quick Q&A (Icebreaker)
Ask students:
What are your plans for the weekend?
Do you plan to travel this year?
Encourage them to answer using "plan to" in a simple sentence.
Example:
  • I plan to go shopping.
  • We plan to watch a movie.

Step 3: Pair Activity (Interactive Speaking)
Activity: "Plan & Share"
  1. Divide students into pairs.
  1. Each student will write 3 things they plan to do this month.
  1. They will then share their plans with their partner.
  1. The partner asks follow-up questions like "Why do you plan to do that?"
Example:
  • I plan to join a gym.
  • Why do you plan to join a gym?
  • Because I want to stay fit.

Step 4: Role-Play (Real-Life Situations)
Students act out short conversations using "plan to".
Situation 1:
🚶‍♂️ A friend asks you about your vacation plans.
  • Friend: What do you plan to do this summer?
  • You: I plan to visit Goa with my family.
Situation 2:
📞 Calling a travel agency to book a trip.
  • Agent: How can I help you?
  • You: I plan to go to Manali next month. Can you suggest good hotels?

Step 5: Fun Game – "Guess My Plan"
  1. One student thinks of a plan but only gives clues.
  1. Others guess the plan using "Do you plan to..."
Example:
  • Clue: I will take my passport and luggage.
  • Guess: Do you plan to travel abroad?

Step 6: Writing Practice (Sentence Building)
Ask students to complete sentences like:
  • Next year, I plan to ______.
  • On my birthday, I plan to ______.
They can then share their sentences aloud.
Step 7: Review & Recap
✔️ Ask students to recall 3 sentences they used today.
✔️ Correct mistakes in usage gently.
✔️ Give them homework: Write 5 things you plan to do this week.
