Main Aims

  • • To provide listening practice for gist and detail in the context of animals used for transportation

Subsidiary Aims

  • To introduce comparisons with as...as. To start understanding stress in sentences to facilitate listening of weak forms. To let them practice use of dictionaries to find MFP of unknown vocabulary

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (6-7 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

- T greets students and starts the lesson by having them listen to animal sound SS should try to differentiate and recognize as many as possible and write them down on a notebook -Then they listen to a second short audio with transport sounds ( slightly more difficult) and repeat the activity Then they share with the class the sounds identified in a game that will end up revealing the image that represents the topic of the listening tasks -Next, T will ask them to think about other dangers they might consider: For example: being hurt by animals, being trapped by plants, not having enough time to go back to the surface.

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

The students will split into BOR to search the web and complete the information for MFP of the word lorry Then T will explain briefly the use of as=adjective=as to make comparisons of things that are equal in some way and model pronunciation focusing on stress and weak forms Then SS will practice suggesting adjectives to create some comparisons on a Jamboard CCQ What part of speech do we usually find between the "as" particles: adjectives Can we compare completely different things using this structure? No, they have to be equal in some way.

While-Listening- Listening for gist (6-8 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist listening tasks

Students will be asked to listen to both short audios once and come up with a title for each audio. T will give instructions before listening Instructions. Write your suggestion on a notepad Titles should be as short and concise as posible. They can mention the animal, its uses, the country, and/or the comparisons mentioned in the audio. T can give an example. Then they'll go to BOR to discuss their ideas and choose the best possible titles to share in Open Class. ICQ: Am I going to listen to the audios more than once?No Am I going to pay attention to every detail? No Should the title be short and concise? Yes

While-Listening - Listening for detail (8-11 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

- Ss read the questions for the first audio, listen to it, and as a class, we complete the multiple-choice exercise - Ss read the questions for the second audio, listen to it, and as a class, we complete the multiple-choice exercise -Instructions: Read the questions first. Then we'll listen to the audio once. If you need to listen again you may ask. Then we are going to answer the questions together.

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

- Ss discuss short tasks to personalize the text in breakout rooms --Mention three ways of using animals for transporting that you've personally experienced or witnessed. -- Mention one argument in favor of using animals for transporting and one argument against it. - T monitors to note errors and to encourage them if needed - OCFB
