T. plays a video using the data show getting students to guess the context of the lesson, then. discusses the content with the Sts explaining what they are going to do throughout the class. T. draws a timeline to show sts that they are going to study the future. If sts are still confused T. can draw some pictures representing initials that form the word future getting sts to guess the word in order to set the context.
To build a kind of scaffolding, T. asks Sts to elicit as many words as they can about the future. T.Writes down the words on the board getting sts to say the word and the teacher repeats after them the words they present. this is followed by presenting some new vocabulary they are meeting in the text reading,then: T. tells students they are going to read some texts about some persons in task one.
Students are asked to work in groups to read the texts around and match the headings with each text. T.asks Sts to read again and find out words that refer to the future and write them on sheets of paper.
