Lesson/Unit Summary: In this unit, students will learn the vocabulary of some sickness symptoms through the reader, and use appropriate intonation to read aloud interrogative sentences. To make the lessons more fun to students, teachers will use miming, songs and video clips to introduce and consolidate the language points. In the final task students have to use the newly learnt vocabulary and appropriate intonation to conduct a clinic role-play. The role-play activity allows students to use the target language in a real-life context. The activity also aims to engage students in peer interactions and enhance their cooperation skills.
