A visit to the hospital
After class — the full seven stops (explore on your own)
What is telemedicine?
Which three ways did you see? Watch once, then tap the ways you caught.
Concept check 1
In telemedicine, is there still a doctor?
Concept check 2
Do the patient and the doctor need to be in the same place?
Predict the aspects
The topic is telemedicine. Which aspects of “telemedicine vs. an in-person visit” might the video mention? We seeded one — commuting.
Your turn: add one or two aspects of your own (up to four if you want a challenge).
First half of the video
Check your predictions
Go back to ③. For each aspect, mark it: the video mentioned it · it did not · ? you are not sure.
True or false?
Read each sentence, choose T or F, then check and read the evidence.
Main idea — choose one
After one viewing: what is the first half of the video mainly about?
Online info & AI diagnosis
Lin has a headache. She searches online and finds two different explanations. Then she asks an AI chatbot — and gets a third one.
All three sound confident. Before trusting any of them, what could she check?
Vote A — health information online
Is medical information on websites generally reliable?
Vote B — a diagnosis from an AI
Lin asks an AI chatbot to diagnose her headache. Is that generally reliable?
Our class data (for the Saudi comparison)
Two conditional questions — count them one by one.
Two predictions — write before the second half
P1. Will the Saudi study figures be the same as our class, higher, or lower?
P2. What is the speaker's conclusion — and why does he believe it?
Second half of the video
The Saudi study — fill the figures
In one study in Saudi Arabia, people said they use the internet to check symptoms — but how many believed it was reliable?
Trust does not tell us whether the information was accurate.
Our class vs. the Saudi study
True or false? (from this half)
The speaker's conclusion — in your own words
You wrote a prediction in ⑤. Now that you've watched: what does the speaker conclude, and what reason did you hear? Write it yourself first — then check the reference.
He believes it because checking symptoms online can misdiagnose, make you dismiss an illness wrongly, and turn you into a cyberchondriac — so anxious about imagined symptoms that you become physically ill.
Group discussion
Sort the resources — three different things
These are not the same kind of thing. Tap a card, then tap the column it belongs to.
Four-square notes — benefits & limitations
For each source, write one benefit (good point) and one limitation (bad point). Then label each idea: “in the video” or “my inference” (my own reasonable guess).
Everyone speaks: 30 seconds to prepare alone → A speaks 45 seconds, B notes the evidence → swap roles → both revise → two students share with the class.
Use the evidence frames. You may say “I think … because the video says …” — the reason is the point.
My route — my own order
Which resource first, which next, and when to move on? Any order is fine — if you can give a reason. (Going straight to a doctor is also allowed.)
Self / peer rubric
Score yourself or your partner on each line — 1 (just starting) to 4 (secure).
Your route — and homework
Exit ticket
One sentence, English: how will you combine these resources to stay reliable without wasting effort?
Homework — an information-check card
Imagine Lin's cousin (fictional): a headache for two days, and two different explanations online. Make him a small information-check card with four lines:
