Age: 11-12 years

Duration: 80 min

Objectives

• Distinguish "have someone do" from "make someone do" and "get someone to do."
• Apply causative forms accurately in civic and environmental contexts.
• Describe delegated municipal actions in three original sentences.

Vocab

• have built: "The city had a new park built downtown."
• make do: "The rule makes drivers slow down near schools."
• delegate: "The mayor delegated the cleanup to a local team."
• arrange: "The office arranged for the trees to be planted."

Warm-up (5min)

Two-photo prompt: a boss pointing and a worker acting. Ask "Who decided? Who did it?" Elicit the idea of causing versus doing. Write frames on the board: "have someone + base verb" / "make someone + base verb."

Main Activity (65min): "Grammar: Causative Verbs (Have/Make)"

"Causative Command Center" — Round 1: mini-lecture (7 min) contrasting have (arrange/pay for) vs make (force/require) vs get (persuade) with one clear civic example each. Round 2: Card match — pairs match 10 situation cards to the correct causative verb and explain nuance. Round 3: Error hunt — correct 6 sentences that mix up base form and infinitive ("The city made companies to recycle" → "recycle"). Round 4: Role scenario — "You are a mayor." Students issue 4 causative instructions to different departments. Round 5: Written output — each student writes 3 sentences describing delegated municipal actions (one have, one make, one get). Peer-check for correct verb form.

Wrap-up (10min)

Speed round: teacher says a situation, students respond with the correct causative sentence orally. Exit ticket: write one "have" and one "make" sentence about school life.

Teacher Tips

• The #1 error is adding "to" after make/have — drill the base form relentlessly.
• Use classroom-real examples (teacher has students clean up) to make the nuance felt.
• This feeds directly into passive voice (Lesson 05) — flag the connection.
