1
Warm-up: energy habits
5 min · Pairs → class
Students predict how coffee, phone use before bed, a quiet walk and eight hours of sleep affect energy. Take a quick class poll and collect useful language about tiredness.
Teacher note: Accept different experiences; the aim is to activate the topic, not establish one correct routine.
2
Match the sentence halves
7 min · Individual → pairs
Students match the seven sentence starters and endings, then compare before feedback. Ask them to choose the three statements that best explain their own tiredness.
Teacher note: Answer key: A–3, B–4, C–6, D–1, E–2, F–7, G–5.
3
Vocabulary speaking
6 min · Pairs
Students discuss the four daily-routine prompts and reuse every target phrase at least once. Invite two pairs to share their strongest example.
Teacher note: Monitor especially for power down, wired, heavy fog, running on fumes and switch off.
4
Watch part 1: causes
6 min · Individual → pairs
Play the first section once for gist and again for the three missing details. Students compare answers before whole-class checking.
Teacher note: Key answers: mind; a hundred open tabs; half-empty.
5
Predict the solutions
4 min · Pairs
Pairs write three questions they hope the second part will answer about screens, relaxation or sleep habits.
Teacher note: Prioritise genuine questions rather than guesses written as questions.
6
Watch part 2: advice
5 min · Individual
Students watch and tick which prediction questions are answered. Briefly elicit the advice on breathing, unplugging and real rest.
Teacher note: Pause only after the first uninterrupted viewing.
7
Discuss the message
7 min · Groups
Groups answer the five discussion questions, using evidence from the video and personal examples. Ask each group to report one idea for “closing extra tabs.”
Teacher note: Encourage explanation, not one-word agreement.
8
Read and respond
6 min · Individual → pairs
Students read the recovery text and write three opinion sentences with different adjective stems. Partners challenge each other to justify each claim from the text.
Teacher note: Check that every adjective is followed by a logical because-clause.
9
Choose, justify and exit
4 min · Pairs → class
Students choose between the four routine pairs and defend one decision. End with one small rest habit they will try tonight.
Teacher note: Use the final choice as an exit ticket.
