The language target will be modals of obligation, possibility, prohibition, deduction and expressions to give counter-arguments.

Students will watch the video once to get in touch with it, then they will watch a 2nd time to spot all the things we are told not to do:

1-operate heavy machinery after drinking cough syrup 2- running with scissors 3- crossing police lines 4- swimming after eating 5- too many plugs in appliances 6- staring at the sun 7- using a blender with the top off 8- accepting candies from strangers 9- making sexualised comments to partners 10- drinking expired milk.......

Later, they will comment on those things , times they have broken rules and share their views.

Finally, we will debate on the real meaning of the song : Question everything, take chances, it’s your life so LIVE!!
