III. PROCEDURES

1. WARM-UP

a. Objective: To activate students' prior knowledge about the differences between traditional and smart cleaning devices, preparing them for the main listening topic.

b. Content: Students complete a categorization mission by classifying specific features into "Traditional Vacuum Cleaner" and "Robot Vacuum Cleaner".

c. Product: A completed table with the correct features for each type of device.

d. Organization:

Step 1: Teacher assigns learning tasks

- Teacher asks the students to watch an AI-generated video designed to support the lesson and answer the questions that appear in the video.

- Teacher asks students to work in pairs and gives them a quick "Categorization Mission" using a digital collaborative board (e.g., Padlet or Quizizz).

- Mission: Read the 6 features below and put them into the correct columns: "Traditional Vacuum Cleaner" OR "Robot Vacuum Cleaner".

- List of features:

1. Needs a person to push and control it.

2. Cleans the room automatically.

3. Has a long plug-in cord.

4. Runs on a rechargeable battery.

5. Can avoid obstacles (tables, chairs) by itself.

6. Heavy to carry around the house.

Step 2: Students perform learning tasks

- Students watch the AI-generated video and answer the questions about it. 

- Students read the phrases carefully, discuss with their partners, and submit their categorized answers via their smartphones/tablets onto the shared digital board.

- The teacher observes the digital submissions in real-time.

Step 3: Reporting and Discussion

- Teacher projects the digital board on the smart TV.

- Teacher calls on 2 different pairs to explain their categorized lists shown on the screen.

- Other students observe and check if their answers match.

- Students' Mission Output:

+ Traditional Vacuum Cleaner:

1. Needs a person to push and control it.

3. Has a long plug-in cord.

6. Heavy to carry around the house.

+ Robot Vacuum Cleaner:

2. Cleans the room automatically.

4. Runs on a rechargeable battery.

5. Can avoid obstacles (tables, chairs) by itself.

Step 4: Evaluation

- Teacher checks the answers with the whole class, explaining any difficult vocabulary (e.g., obstacles, rechargeable).

- Teacher leads into the new lesson: As we can see, a robot vacuum cleaner is a very smart invention because it cleans automatically and runs on a battery. Today, we will listen to a conversation about a specific device called RoboVacuum to learn how it works and what its buttons do.

[2.1.NC1a]: Choose simple digital technologies for interaction.

[6.1.NC1a]: Analyze how AI operates in specific applications like the smart obstacle avoidance of a robot vacuum cleaner.

2. PRESENTATION

d. Organization:

Step 1: Teacher assigns learning tasks

- Teacher gives instructions for the take-home project.

- Task: Choose an ordinary household appliance (e.g., a fridge, a washing machine, a fan, a mirror). Turn it into a "Smart" invention by adding 3 new, special buttons/functions.

- Ss design a digital mini-poster or manual (using Canva or similar apps) showing the appliance with its new buttons.

- Write a short "User Manual" (4-5 sentences) giving instructions on how to use these new functions (Use imperative verbs like Press, Put, Do not, Avoid).

- Ss upload the final digital product to the class Padlet.

Step 2: Students perform learning tasks
