Photocopy of the literature for each student (questionnaire and survey) Paper Pen/Pencil

4. Reading Skill/Focus: Help students recognize and note details.

5. Objectives: At the end of the 40-minute period, the students should be able to:5.1 Cognitive: Identify types of health practices. Associate pictures with the printed words. Recognize the spoken words represented in print and pictures.5.2 Affective: Develop an appreciation for sports and healthy lifestyle. 5.3 Psychomotor: Develop visual discrimination skills.

6. Approach/Strategies:6.1 Pre-reading

Pre-test: Answer the questionnaire before we proceed.

Direct students’ attention to the question, “How do you stay healthy?” Point to each picture and ask a rhetorical question so that students can hear the vocabulary (e.g. “Do you play sports?” Have students raise their hands to respond. Ask individuals follow up questions such as “What kinds of sports do you play?” Write a list of sports on the board as students name them.

Ask students to put checks next to the pictures showing things they do to stay healthy. (3 min.)

After students make their choices, ask the class as a whole, “Who plays sports?” Have students raise their hands to respond. Ask individuals follow up questions such as “What kinds of sports do you play?” Write a list of sports on the board as students name them.

Ask the class as a whole a question about the second picture, “Who eats healthy foods?” Have students raise their hands to respond. Ask individuals follow up questions. Continue with other pictures in the same way.

Let students continue the interview for the rest of the pictures. Call on volunteers or students who seldom participate in class.

7. Application7.1 Oral:

Play a listening and speaking game. Say, “He is 24 years old. He goes to a gym after work. Who is he?” Once students understand the “rules,” have them play in two groups (Group A and Group B); each member will have a chance to participate. The teacher will write the scores on the board for each group.

Ask students whether they have additional ways to healthy living that are not included in the questionnaire or mentioned in the survey.

I eat healthy foods. I work out in a gym.

I watch television – I’m a couch potato. I keep smiling and am happy all the time.
