A. Introduction-
1. How many of you either own a pet or plan on getting one soon?
2. Did you really think about it before you bought that animal or
are you thinking about it right now? Did you just dive in and buy
it?
3. We must all understand that much thought should be given before
you buy a pet. Every potential pet owner should ask their-self 9 questions.
These 9 questions will help you decide if you're ready for a pet,
or it will help you decide what type of pet you can get/handle at
this time. |

they might have.

D. Independent Practice-
1. After group work, each student will go back to their own seat
and answer 6 out of the 9 questions.
2. After they have answered the question, they will go in front of
the group and explain what they put.
3. After they have presented, they will list 3 of the best possible
pets they could have at this time. |

1. Once the students are either put into groups or do it individually,
I will be able to examine if they understand the material.
2. If they don't understand the material, then I will reteach the
material to them. |

G. Closure-
"Please remember that you don't need to just go out and buy a new
pet without thinking. Think this stuff out and realize that you don't
always need a huge dog...maybe a hamster would do just fine.
