· Conduct a very basic phone conversation
· Use vocabulary to talk about health issues
We finished the doctor's appointment practice.
We used a phone book to find a physician then practiced dialogues with leaving messages.
We read the story My Sick Child.
We summarized the story.
Then we found information on medication labels.
My Sick Child Summary:
Lucy’s mom gets a phone call from the nurse.
The nurse tells Lucy’s mom that Lucy is sick.
The nurse says the temperature is 102.
The mom talks to her boss. She asks to leave because her daughter is sick. She drives to the school.
The nurse talks to Lucy’s mom. She tells her to take medicine and drink liquids (fluid). If her temperature goes down, stay home. If it goes up, go to the doctor.
The mom checks Lucy’s temperature. It went up.
They go to the doctor. The doctor checks the temperature. The doctor checks her throat.
Lucy has an infection; strep throat. The doctor writes a prescription.
Lucy should take medicine. The doctor asks Lucy’s mom if Lucy is allergic to penicillin. She is not. Lucy has to take the medicine three times a day.
Lucy is contagious. Lucy can go back to school 24 hours after she takes the medicine.
Be careful. If she is vomiting, has diarrhea, or a fever, or a rash, she should stop taking the medicine and call the doctor. It could be an allergic reaction.
She is better and goes home to rest. She says thank you and bye to the doctor.
