This is a longer activity. I noticed that in most English courses, and even in coursebooks, the future is something somewhat forgotten. The books focus more on the difference between will x going to than in consolidating the 'tense' itself in student's minds. They have little time to practice, and thus they don't really learn how to use it well. This is simply an activity in which they can think and use the future one more time.
"Modern Family is an American television comedy series that debuted on ABC on September 23, 2009. Depicted in mockumentary style, the fictional characters frequently talk directly into the camera. The show revolves around three families that are interrelated through Jay Pritchett and his children, Claire Dunphy and Mitchell Pritchett. Jay Pritchett, the patriarch, is married to a much younger woman, Gloria, a passionate mother, who, with help from Jay, raises her son, Manny. Claire is a homemaker mom married to Phil, a real estate agent and self-professed "cool dad". They have three children: Haley, the stereotypical teenager, Alex, the smart middle child and Luke, the offbeat only son. Mitchell, a lawyer, and his partner Cameron have adopted a Vietnamese baby, Lily." [source: Wikipedia]
I hope this is useful.
Cheers!
