Teacher Talk Outline: Conditional Sentences in the Context of The Projector Dilemma
Lesson Topic:
Understanding Conditional Sentences in Real-life Scenarios
Objective:
Students will explore the use of conditional sentences (Types 1, 2, and 3) in the context of the story The Projector Dilemma. By the end of the lesson, students will identify conditional sentence types and explain their significance in shaping hypothetical situations and outcomes.
Introduction:
Greeting & Agenda Overview:
- Hello, class! Today, we will dive into the world of conditional sentences and examine how they reflect hypothetical situations. We'll be using the story of The Projector Dilemma to guide our understanding.
Warm-up Discussion:
- Ask: "Have you ever thought about how things would be different if you made a different decision in the past?"
Relevance to the Lesson:
- In The Projector Dilemma, Debbie, Joel, and Jess face many “what if” situations that affect their decisions. We’ll use these moments to explore the different types of conditional sentences.
Debbie was pacing around the room, a look of panic on her face. "What? What's the matter?" Pete asked, sensing something was wrong. "I’ve forgotten to get a projector!" Debbie exclaimed, her voice laced with frustration. "I promised to show some photos of my fashion project to Lily and her friends at Sunny Bank this afternoon. I’ve got them on this memory stick, but I need a projector. I was going to borrow one from our neighbor." Pete thought for a moment. "What about a computer?" "A computer screen’s too small for them to see properly," Debbie replied, shaking her head. "Oh, I’m so stupid." "If you hadn’t forgotten the projector, you wouldn’t be in this mess," Pete thought, but before he could say anything, Joel stepped in. "I’ll get you a projector," Joel offered confidently. Debbie looked at him in disbelief. "How? I need it now." "Meet me in the entrance hall in... five minutes," Joel said, already moving towards the door. True to his word, Joel handed Debbie the projector a few minutes later. "Here. I need to get it back to the IT room before school finishes. How long will you be?" "About an hour?" Debbie estimated. "That’s cool," Joel replied, relieved that it wouldn’t take too long. As Debbie took the projector, she hesitated. "Joel, does anyone know that I’ve got this?" "I do," Joel replied with a reassuring smile. Debbie nodded. "OK. Thanks." Later, after showing her fashion project to Lily and her friends, who were thoroughly impressed, Debbie quickly made her way back to the school. As she rushed through the hallway, she spotted Jess. "Jess! Jess, hi. Listen, I’m late for my class. Are you with Joel next lesson?" Debbie asked hurriedly. "Yes," Jess replied. "Can you give him this?" Debbie handed over the projector. "Yeah, sure, no problem," Jess agreed, taking the projector. Debbie flashed a grateful smile. "Cool, thanks. See you later." When Jess met up with Joel, she handed him the projector. But as Joel examined it, his face fell. "The main part’s OK, but the lamp’s broken." Debbie, who had caught up with them, sighed in relief. "Phew! So we just need to get a new bulb." But Joel shook his head, the weight of the situation settling in. "Do you know how much they cost? Around two hundred pounds." Jess was shocked. "I don’t believe it!" "It’s true," Joel confirmed. "Projector lamps are really expensive." Jess looked devastated. "I am so sorry, guys. This is all my fault." Debbie quickly reassured her. "No, you were just trying to help, Jess. It was an accident. Listen, let’s just put it back quickly." But Joel, ever the responsible one, disagreed. "And not tell anyone? No. We mustn’t do that." "Why not, Joel?" Debbie asked. "No one will know who did it. The school will just buy another lamp." "If we hid this, we wouldn’t be doing the right thing," Joel thought, his conscience heavy. He finally said, "No, this is my responsibility, and I don’t want anyone else to get into trouble for it. I’m going to tell Miss Bradley." When Miss Bradley heard the story, she gathered them all together. "Joel has told me about the projector. I just want to tell you all that I’m very pleased with him. He didn’t have to tell anyone that he took it without permission, but he did the right thing." Debbie, feeling guilty, spoke up. "It was my fault too, Miss." But Miss Bradley shook her head. "No. Joel decided to take it, not you, Debbie. And Jess dropped it by accident. You were just trying to help each other out. So let’s just forget about it, OK?" The group nodded, grateful that the situation had been resolved so kindly. As they left Miss Bradley’s office, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. They had learned a valuable lesson about responsibility, honesty, and the importance of doing the right thing, even when it wasn’t easy.
