Main Aims

  • Understand descriptive and narrative language in an informal but professional setting

Subsidiary Aims

  • Identify key places, animals, and activities mentioned during the tour

Procedure

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

Ask: If you were giving a tour of your clinic or a zoo, what would you show first? What information would you include? Board student predictions in 3 columns: Places, Animals, Activities.

Pre-Reading/Listening (5-7 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Prepare for note taking

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

Play the first 2–3 minutes of the video without pausing. Students answer: Who is giving the tour? What’s the first area or animal they show? What’s the general feeling of the tour (formal, casual, fun)? Quick pair check and confirm answers.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (16-18 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Replay the video in full. Students use Cornell notes to record: Left column: Locations visited or animals shown Right column: Details, facts, or special features mentioned Bottom: Summary of the tour sequence

Post-Reading/Listening (13-15 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

In pairs, students use their notes to recreate the tour: Describe the order of places visited Include at least 2 details per stop If time allows, groups can “give” a mini-tour to the class. Vocabulary check and Glossary building
