Lesson objectives:

1) To learn four phrasal verbs: "to see (something) in", "to see (someone) out", "to see (someone) off", "to see through (something)". Students will be presented with four images, each of which matches with one of the phrasal verbs. 

2) To practise using the past perfect, by conjugating verbs into simple past and past perfect, using short texts related to animal vision.

3) To understand double-meaning and humour through matching three eye-related jokes with their punchlines.

4) To explain the different features of animals' vision, information students will gather by watching a short video. This will expose students to new and specialised vocabulary.

5) To apply six eye-related idioms (e.g. to make eyes at someone, to keep an eye out, to catch somebody's eye) through short story-telling exercises.

6) To improve reading comprehension, using a short article about the ability of cats and dogs to perceive UV light.
