Week 15
"The Lifeboat Dilemma" con Second Conditional.

What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Uses the second conditional to negotiate, argue, and defend ethical decisions in a hypothetical survival simulation.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• Hypothetical reasoning: Constructing arguments about what would happen if a choice were made.
• Vocabulary: survival, sacrifice, resource, debate, compromise.
• Negotiation structures: 'If we chose X, we would save...', 'It would be better if we...'

Practical Challenge: Lifeboat Negotiation

In groups of 4, decide which 3 characters out of 6 survive on a lifeboat. Write 3 second conditional justifications defending your choices (e.g., 'If we saved the doctor, she would help us').

Reflection & Wrap-up

Self-assessment Question: Present your group's decision to the class and defend it using at least 2 second conditional sentences.
