My students liked this lesson plan a lot though most of them don't have pets at home. I find out that almost all of them want to have pets at home. Some of the students even want to have  a lion at home as  a pet. They liked to group animals according to the labels,  survey, role play and guessing game. They especially were keen on doing guessing game. Thank you very much for tthis lesson plan. It  is also beneficial for us to explain the importance of animals in our lives.
