Overview of the unit
This final unit in the book introduces students to pets and the responsibilities associated with pet ownership.

Warm-up activity
Before this lesson, ask students to bring in pictures, leaflets, or any other realia related to pets. They can get materials from pet shops, the internet and magazines. It is always a good idea to bring in materials yourself to make sure that your lesson gets off to a good start.
Pass the materials around the class at the beginning of the lesson and then put them up on display. Ask students to make comments. Review the names of different animals. Encourage them to select suitable adjectives describe the books, behaviour, homes or anything else they associate with the pets. Do a quick class survey about how many students have pets and what kind of pets they have. Use this situation to introduce the function of giving instructions to prepare for the conversation presented in the comic strip.
