Pre-reading#2 (2-3 minutes) • To predict the content of the reading

T gives Ss the list of ideas. In two groups(A and B), which ideas do you think you will find in the text? T gives the groups an A4 paper to take notes about their preditions.

Gist reading (3-4 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist reading

Ss individually read the text and tick the ideas they find in the text. Ss check in their group and decide what was different from their group's predictions. WC feedback

Pre-scanning (1-2 minutes) • To elicit words from Ss that they already know in the context of party

Write the word 'party' in the centre of a word-cloud and elicit words from WC

Scanning (1-2 minutes) • To be able to quickly find specific information in the text

T hands out the list of new party vocabulary to each student. Ss individually find and underline words.

Deduction reading (5-8 minutes) • To provide Ss with more challenging deducing meaning from context task

T devides the class into 3 groups of Balloons, Candles and Cakes and write their names on the board. Under each group name T sticks 3 definitions. One student from each group has to run to the board, grab the definition and guess which word in the text has that meaning. Then, the 2nd student runs to the board with the 1st definition and writes the word in front of it. After that, he/she grabs the 2nd definition and activity continues until one group finishes the task. The group which finishes firstly will be the winner. WC feedback
