Our frequent contributor, Pedro Urbano, suggested/added these tasks to the lesson plan. Thanks, Pedro, once again, for such a precious addition.
I just loved the activity. If you may, I adapted to class rotation and I would like to share how I did after they completed the exercise 3.

Speaking activities
You can split the class in four big groups after they complete the worksheet (The secret life of Pets), exercise 3. Each group perfoms a different activity. They should perform in 5 minutes. Here are some suggestions of activities:
Station 1
Ss ask the group which animal does a specific activity.
A: Who plays videogames?
B: It’s _______________
Station 2
Ss ask the group Yes-No Questions related to the activities given on the worksheet (The secret life of Pets). If necessary, they must add a time expression.
A: Do you play video games in the morning?
B: Yes, I do./ No, I don’t.
A: Does your _________ like massage?
B: Yes, He does. / No, He doesn’t.
Station 3
True or False?
One student says a true or false sentence about the worksheet (The secret life of Pets). The group must agree or correct the sentence.
A: Max likes massage.
B: No, It’s ________
A: Max waits for someone.
B: That’s correct.
Station 4
2 true facts and 1 lie about you.
A student says three sentences for the group about him/herself. He/She can use the sentences from the exercise 3 of the worksheet (The secret life of Pets) to describe about him or her. Two sentences are true and one is false. The group should guess which sentence is a lie. They have only two chances.
After 5 minutes, the groups change station; they change the activity. Make them try the four activities. It really works.
