Objective: Engage learners, activate prior knowledge, and introduce the lesson's theme with reading from excerpt. Instructions: Share the image from the Google Slides. Ask the class: “What do you think the people in this image are doing?” Elicit predictions (encourage students to speak). Utilize the hypothetical for gist.

Objective: Familiarize students with the content and introduce key verbs and hypothetical language. Instructions: Share the link to the Google Form for: ("The People Watchers") Ask learners to read the text silently and be ready to answer questions What is "The People Watchers" about? What do the psychologists try to understand? Check answers: Go over answers together using Zoom annotation to highlight key parts of the text to lead into MFP.

Objective: Introduce the form and use of the second conditional. Instructions: If you were part of this experiment, how would you feel? Highlight the "If" clause and the "would" clause. Ask students to notice the verb forms used (simple past in the "if" clause, "would" + base verb in the main clause) and answer the question. Write the form on the Slide: If + past simple, would + base verb. Elicit: What does the second conditional express? (A hypothetical situation, unlikely or imaginary). Pronunciation: Utilize Audio 6.3 from intermediate book and have them listen and help place the correct boxes in the sentence gaps: EX. A: What _________________ if your laptop exploded? (would you do) B: If my laptop exploded, I’d call for help! Ask questions: Q: How do we pronounce would in the question form? Q: How do pronounce would in fast spoken English in positive sentences? Q: How do we pronounce the negative of would?

Controlled Practice: Share a gap-fill exercise, such as: If I _______ (be) a psychologist, I _______ (conduct) this experiment differently. If people _______ (not buy) cakes, the sellers _______ (not succeed). Students complete the gaps in pairs in Zoom breakout rooms for 5 minutes. Share their answers afterward for feedback.

Ask students to create their own second conditional sentences using one of the following prompts: What would you do if you were asked to raise money for charity? Students discuss in pairs using breakout rooms (5-10 minutes). Ask them to use second conditional structures in their answers. Return to the main group for feedback. Ask a few students to share their partner’s ideas using second conditionals.

Allow students to give examples of what they said in the breakout rooms and to repeat on screen for feedback.
