Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Procedure: Ask students: What are some things that commonly go wrong with pets? What do you do in those situations? Board ideas: vomiting, wounds, heatstroke, choking, fear/aggression. Optional: Show 2–3 flash images (dog eating chocolate, cat stuck, bleeding paw) and ask students to describe or guess the advice.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (13-15 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Task: Students listen and identify: What is the general situation? What are the key pieces of advice? They do not write yet. Pair check after listening.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (18-20 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Procedure: Play again. Students take structured Cornell Notes: Left column: emergency actions, verbs, advice (e.g., keep the pet calm, apply pressure) Right column: what situations or symptoms they relate to Bottom: one full-sentence summary using a zero or first conditional

Post-Reading/Listening (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Procedure: Students work in groups of 3. Each chooses one symptom from the listening (or a teacher prompt) and must: Describe what happened Summarize what the speaker advised Add one new warning or suggestion of their own They present as a quick report to another group or the class.

Wrap-Up (8-10 minutes) • To finalize the session and recap on what was done

Procedure: Each student writes: 1 phrase they learned (e.g., use a towel, check for a pulse) What emergency it connects to One zero or first conditional sentence using that phrase Instructor reviews a few aloud, focusing on clarity and proper structure.
