Procedure

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

T will handout pictures of two families having dinner. One picture will be of a healthy family and the other unhealthy. T will ask: What are the differences? Are they healthy? Why? SS will discuss the two pictures in pairs and feedback to the class.

Pre-Reading/Pre-teach Vocabulary (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the video and make it accessible

T will use examples of foods to describe the tastes: Bitterness, sourness, saltiness and sweetness. T will ask why are foods are sweet? What do sweet foods contain? T will also show types of diseases that can be caused from too much sugar and elicit/teach through pictures: Obesity, heart disease, diabetes

While-Listening #1 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information listening tasks

T will tell ss that they will watch a video called 'Sugar is Killing Us' and handout 4 statements for the ss to read before they watch the video. T will ask ss the predict what the video is about by only seeing the title. SS watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yda8RtOcVFU and select one statement that relays the gist of the video. SS will compare their answers in pairs then T will do whole class feedback. T will solidify gist by asking students to explain why the other statements are not correct.

While-Listening #2 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference listening tasks

SS will be given true/false statements. T will give a few minutes for students to read them and predict the answers in pairs. T will then play the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yda8RtOcVFU for ss to see if the statements are true/false. After the video has finished, ss will be asked to compare and check their answers in pairs. T will monitor and then provide an answer key on the board. If ss need further clarification for answers, this will be provided by the T.

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

SS will work on their own to answer the following questions: Do you live a healthy lifestyle? Why? What advice can you give to someone who eats too much sugar? T will ask students to share examples in open pairs then explain that students need to ask at least 3 people in the class and listen to their answers.
