CLASS PROFILE: This is a classroom made up of 29 students. They generally pursue their
learning goals enthusiastically and respond well to material which is relevant and involving. The
teacher must constantly encourage them to respond to texts or situations with their own thoughts
and experiences and, most importantly, give them tasks which they are able to do, otherwise
they’ll get de-motivated. They usually react positively to activities prompted by pictures or cues
and they appreciate a supportive classroom atmosphere.

LESSON AIMS:
 to raise SS’ interest on the topic of health and healthy lifestyle;
 review what they've learned about different types of headaches, their causes, and
treatments;
 to use vocabulary connected with health, health ailments and treatments;
 to work in groups to create a commercial for a headache treatment;
 to consolidate comparison for adjectives through their presentations;
 to reflect upon own learning and performance.
 to develop the students’ competitive spirit

PROCEDURES
As a class, the teacher reviews the definition of a headache. (Definition: Headache is a pain that
comes from nerves surrounding the brain. When irritated, the nerves fire off pain signals.)
The teacher asks the students to name situations or experiences that have caused them to have
headaches. (Their suggestions may include allergies, noise, fatigue, stress and exercise.)
The students list the different types of headaches covered in the classroom. (Examples included
tension headaches, exercise headaches, sinus headaches, migraines and cluster headaches.)
The teacher poses some questions like: Which of these headaches is most common? Which are
most severe? Briefly discuss the cause, symptoms and treatments for each type of headache.
The teacher keeps a running list of headache treatments on the board.
The students work in groups of five or six to create a commercial for one type of headache
treatment.
Before working on the commercials the teacher shows the class some clips from You Tube about
some medicine for headaches.
a) Annoying headache commercial: Head-on http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=f_SwD7RveNE
b) Tylenol extra strength for headaches 1997 commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=iZ4lkxW9iXs
c) headache commercial Ayayai http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC0JtUFrpFw
They may focus on an over-the-counter medicine; a prescription drug; or a service such as
acupuncture, massage therapy, or yoga. Their commercials should address the following
questions:
 What type of headache does this treatment claim to remedy?
 Who gets this type of headache? (How many Romanians does it affect?)
 What does it feel like (i.e. what are the symptoms)?
 What are other symptoms, if any?
 What are some external causes of this type of headache?
 What are the internal causes?
 Why does this treatment work?

Each group should write a script for their commercial. The Teacher encourages the students to
use facts and statistics from the internet, as well as from their own research. The Web sites below
from Discovery Health Online provide helpful information:

Pain Medications

The groups present their commercials to the class. (Depending on your time and resources,
groups could perform their commercials as skits and possibly videotape them to be shown in
class.)
The lesson concludes with a discussion about severe headaches.
What are the signs of a serious migraine or cluster headache? What are some symptoms that
should cause you to seek help? (Answers include severe or frequent headaches, "stabbing"
feeling in head, pain in eye, loss of vision, or numbness.)
