The Importance and Value of The Checklist - Atul Gawande
Pre-listening:
Read the blurb. What do you think a check list is?
Students will demonstrate understanding of 'checklist' by creating one or describing one.
Suggestions: Things to take to the exam. How to wash your hands before surgery. What to do before going on holiday.
Look at the blurb. Compose 5 questions you'd like answered. Review questions.
Accommodation: text type, speaker, age, background.
During listening 1 - which questions were answered? Which not? Why not? Discuss and find answers online
Listening 2 - Listening for the actual answers.
Intensive listening: 3.35 - 3.40
Listen to --3.35 and note which words you knew but found hard to hear.
Listen with blacked out words - Learners identify how many words are missing. Then play and look up meaning.

Post listening.
Pronunciation.
Read the last part 5.16 - 5.56,
Stress pauses, listen to recording, then original then recording.
Note the difference
Read again aloud paying attention to which word and syllables are stressed.
Record self.
read and listen for words that run together.
Homework, listen to self over 3 times.
Productive part:
Vocabulary: Learners try to guess the meaning of the words highlighted from co-text.
Look up and make 2 more examples. Plug into SRS.
Speaking: Summarise the talk.
What questions would be good discussion points from the talk?
Make a couple of exam-style comprehension questions with a real and a distractor answer.
