2 2. a. To make links between cultures, I will ask students to answer the following question in triads: Where you are from, what do people do to stay healthy? Are there any traditional beliefs about how to get better? (3 minutes) Question shown on Prezi. 3. I will ask the students to keep the following HOT question in mind throughout the lesson: What can we do to prevent ourselves from getting sick?? PRACTICE AND APPLICATION (meaningful activities, interaction, strategies, practice & application, feedback): Transition: You just talked with each other about how you feel physically. Because it's winter, many people might be feeling sick. If you have to go to the doctor, you will need to know some words to help the doctor figure out what might be wrong. --go to Prezi 1. Discuss new vocabulary. Each new word will have its own slide, complete with a picture. Gestures will also be used. Does anybody have any questions about any of the new words? (4 min) 2. Show words and pictures for fever, flu, cold, headache, and nausea. Ask students to answer in groups of three Which of these do you think could be the most serious? Why?? (2 min) 3. Let's watch a video with some advice about how to stay healthy. Try to remember some of the advice the doctor in the video gives. (3 min) Any questions about what we just saw? What advice did she give? (2 min) Transition: When we describe our physical feelings to a doctor, he or she might predict what illness we have. However, they might not be completely sure. In English, when we want to talk about what might or could be possible, we use words called modals. (1 min) 1. Refer to a list of the modals (organized from most certain to least certain) on Prezi. Each modal will be used in one example sentence. Draw students' attention to how these words are directly followed by verbs without to and that they never change spelling. (3 min) 2. Transition: Fill in the gap activity: Students will be given a passage containing both modals and the vocabulary. In pairs, students will help one another to fill in the gaps in their individual passage. Then, they will be asked to summarize in writing the main points of the passage. Instructions will be given on Prezi. (5 min) Transition: So, now that you're familiar with both ways of talking about sickness and how to make guesses, I want you to practice. 1. I am going to split you up into pairs to create a dialogue. One of you will be a patient and one will be a doctor. The patient will describe how they are feeling, and based on this information, the doctor will try to guess what illness the patient might have, using a modal. Model an example for students. (Instructions written on Prezi; students will be given a word bank) (7 min) If there is time, ask several pairs to present their dialogues to the class. REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT (review objectives and vocabulary, assess learning): (5 min)

Formatted: Outline numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, + Start at: 2 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0" + Indent at: 0" Commented [F23]: scaffold=give an example Commented [K24]: This should be really interesting, will you pre-prepare your groups (to a degree as you cant really know for sure who will be there) so that you have a mix of cultures? Commented [25]: I like this. Commented [K26]: I think this is great! Prevention, not something western medicine really puts any emphasis on. Commented [27]: Yes, this is definitely HOT. There is no right answer thats why there are so many books about this. Commented [28]: I need help of this. Commented [HC29]: Good visual support! Formatted: Outline numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0" + Indent at: 0" Commented [30]: Nice scaffolding for beginners. Commented [K31]: nice Commented [32]: Why do you think of this question? Unexpected!! Commented [HC33]: Before having them watch the video, do you think if it is better to ask them to express the feeling when they feel sick using the new vocab? It wont necessarily be an activity, but just asking and having some T-S interaction.

Commented [K34]: great idea to set it up this way, the visual will be super helpful as well. Formatted: Outline numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0" + Indent at: 0" Commented [HC35]: Provide some hand-on materials for students to review. Commented [K36]: How will they do this? By guess? I like the idea of best guess for the most certain you could be Commented [37]: Im pleased you have this activity instead of having only gap-filling activity. Commented [38]: This is so good.

Commented [39]: I love this role-play. Throughout the lesson plan, you presented great & excellent scaffoldings. Commented [HC40]: Very good activity! Have them act out! Look forward to it! Commented [41]: Review activity is also great. But there are so many activities so that you and Ss could be in a rush. Please make sure your time-line.

3 Transition: OK, I think you guys learned a lot of new vocabulary today. Let's see how well you remember it all. 1. Charades: Students will be chosen at random to come to the front of the room to act our a vocabulary word that they draw out of a bag. (5 minutes) The teacher will be able to assess overall student comprehension of vocabulary through the Charades game, through informal in-class assessment, and by collecting the homework. EXTENSION: (1 min) Give the students a handout about more specific rules of modals of possibility and probability. For homework: On your own, write a short paragraph (4-6 sentences) about things you can do to stay healthy and avoid the illnesses we talked about in class. Feel free to include cures from your own culture. Instructions listed on Prezi. (1 min)

MATERIALS Fill in the gap passage: Fall and winter are cold and flu season -- when people are most likely to catch the viruses that cause the flu and the common cold. Research may be just starting to provide evidence for long-held beliefs. For example, scientists for years dismissed the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu. But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body. That stress can create conditions more inviting to viruses, so dressing warmly before going outside really could prevent illness. Doctors say if you have a cold and are hungry, you should eat. But a fever, especially a high one, suggests a more serious problem. People are usually not hungry anyway when they have a high fever. Eating might even cause a person to vomit. But drinking plenty of liquids is important. A fever can easily dehydrate the body. Doctors suggest that a fever should be treated if it prevents a person from sleeping, or if it stays at 104 Fahrenheit (~40 Celsius) or above for a day or more. A temperature that high can damage brain cells. Aspirin can be used to reduce pain and fever. Vaccines may also be used for some illnesses. They do not protect everyone who gets them, but even if a person does get sick, the vaccine can limit the effects of the virus. With the same partner, write 3-4 sentences summarizing the main points of this article. Text adapted from: http://www.voanews.com/specialenglish/archive/2008-10/2008-10-21voa3.cfm?renderforprint=1
