It adopts a multi-activity structure to help learners master“can” in affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms. First, activity 3a lets students recognise that “can” doesn’t change form regardless of the subject by highlighting bolded verbs in sample sentences, laying a grammar foundation. Activity 3b connects animals with their abilities through matching, contextualising “can” and encouraging students to create new sentences. Activity 3c integrates “can” into a passage about a friend’s abilities, synthesising grammar with discourse. Activity 3d turns “can” into a communication tool via interviewing classmates and reporting results, promoting authentic interaction. Linguistically, it focuses on “can” and vocabulary related to abilities and animals. Pedagogically, it integrates four language skills, follows an input-to-output cognitive progression, and keeps content relatable, helping students master “can” in form, meaning, and use.
