step v writing
t: we've learnt a lot about first aid, and we can deal with some common injuries. but most people don't know about giving first aid. we should help more people to know first aid, so that more people can be saved in accidents. now, let's write a passage about how to give first aid. you can choose one of the accident scenes from the reading passage or from the pictures in the warming up   activity and explain what should be done. before you write, you should think carefully about what you are going to explain. what are the basic steps? how would you explain them? in which order should you explain them? what does the reader need to know or think about in order to perform the steps? look at the screen. the information may help you.
  (show the following on the screen.)
first, make sure that the accident scene is safe. before you start giving first aid, you need to make sure that the accident scene is safe.
then, you must decide what to do. 
after giving first aid, you may place the person in the recovery position.
finally, you should keep the person warm.
(allow the students a few minutes to finish the task.)
t: have you finished?
ss: yes.
t: good. now, exchange your paragraph with your partner. after your partner reads your passage, ask them if you have explained all the steps, if it is easy to follow the steps, if the order is clear and if he/she needs more explanations.
