Objective:
The students will be able to understand the importance of staying at home when feeling ill and the benefits of drinking warm tea.

The students will complete a group activity where they will create a poster demonstrating the steps to take when feeling sick and how drinking warm tea can help.
Key Points:
• Staying at home when feeling ill helps prevent the spread of germs.
• Drinking warm tea can soothe a sore throat and reduce congestion.
• It is important to drink plenty of fluids when sick.
Opening:
The teacher will begin the lesson by asking the students if they know what a doctor does. The teacher will have a doctor's role-play prop and encourage the students to pretend to be a doctor and think about how they can help sick people. The teacher will then introduce the topic of staying at home and drinking warm tea to help when feeling ill.
Introduction to New Material: The teacher will explain that when people are sick, it is important to stay at home to avoid spreading germs to others. The teacher will use visual aids, such as illustrations of sick people and healthy people, to help the students understand the concept. The teacher will also explain that drinking warm tea can help soothe a sore throat and reduce congestion. The teacher will address the common misconception that going to school when feeling sick is okay.
Guided Practice:
The teacher will lead a guided practice activity where students will work in groups to create a poster demonstrating the steps to take when feeling sick and how drinking warm tea can help. The teacher will provide sentence starters and visuals to support the students' understanding. The teacher will monitor student performance by circulating the classroom and providing guidance as needed.
Independent Practice:
The students will work individually to complete a
worksheet where they will match pictures of sick people with appropriate actions to take, such as staying at home or drinking warm tea. This assignment will demonstrate their mastery of the objective. The teacher will set behavioral expectations for the work time and provide assistance to students who may need additional support.
Closing:
The teacher will lead a quick closing activity where students will share one thing, they learned about staying at home and drinking warm tea when feeling ill. The teacher will summarize the key points discussed throughout the lesson.
Extension Activity:
For students who finish early, they can create a short skit or role-play scenario demonstrating the importance of staying at home and drinking warm tea when feeling ill.
