Main Aims

  • To provide gist and scan reading practice using a text about circular & linear economy in the context of industry, waste and environment

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide fluency speaking practice in a debate in the context of waste and environment

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and elicit the meaning of circular and linear approaches to using objects

T shows a picture of a product (a cookie tin) that can be reused in most houses and then ask Ss to think of some creative ways to reuse other objects (a bottle & a straw)

Pre-Reading/Video (4-5 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

T tells Ss that they will watch a video (P:26) to highlight the difference between circular and linear economy. They will be asked to tell the difference and distinguish which economy is similar to the biological cycle in nature

While-Reading/ Gist reading (5-6 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and to generally comprehend the idea of the text in a relevant manner

T directs the Ss to the figure on page 29 and asks them to reflect on their country and decide if the economy in Turkey is circular or linear. Ss will be reminded on how to find the general idea of long texts without reading the whole texts (reading the first and last paragraphs). Then, they will be asked to read the first paragraph and spot the main issue the text focuses on. Later,they will be directed to read the last paragraphs and spot if everyone supports circular economy.

While-Reading #2 (jigsaw reading) (16-18 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading tasks. Jigsaw reading will reduce the load of reading this long text and will encourage group-work

T put the students in groups of three to start the jigsaw reading. Each student will be responsible of reading 2 paragraphs (except the first and the last ones). They will be given some time to read their paragraphs silently and then share the information with their group members in the order of their paragraphs. T will be monitoring meanwhile. Next, Ss will answer some detailed questions through the whisper game. Ss (within their groups) will stand in line to whisper and write some questions about the text on the board. Later, they will find the answers to these questions in the text (they will be directed to paragraphs to save time).

Post-Reading: Debate (10-12 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

T will show the Ss an example of how some countries legislate laws to act against waste as a form of circular economy. T will set the debate on whether this law can be applicable in Turkey. Ss will be divided into two teams and will be given a couple of minutes to brainstorm ideas. Then, they will start the debate.
