PLEASE NOTE THE READING ITSELF DOES NOT CONTAIN MODALS. This short reading is based on a program synopsis for the first installment of the Simpsons episode Who Shot Mr Burns. I read through it with my class and theN got them to discuss in pairs the probability of each Suspect using past modal verbs for example Mayor Quimby might have shot him because.... but he canīt have done it because... The last box is blank for any other suspects the students might want to justify.
I recommend that this only be used as a production activity after the presentation and controlled practice of past modal verbs of speculation.
