But before, lets have a look at these pictures and words on the WB.T will elicit the meaning of the underlined words. For example for the word 'soar', T will ask:' anybody knows what soar-this word means? Ss will guess right or wrong. T will use elicit techniques such as talking about another word that has a close meaning like fly,up,redbull gives you....' Ss will give the right answer. Next T will ask CCQs: ' if you say tv prices soar, does it mean prices are going up or going down?' Ss will answer : 'Going up!'. On this stage after the meaning and CCQs, T will drill the pronunciation, whole class choral or from the groups in turn. Finally teacher can write them words on the WB talking about stress and intonation. Next, T will ask groups to match the headlines to the photos.T will give the answers. T: Which story would you read first? Why? Ss will talk and T will elicit that headlines tend to use short dramaticwords to catch people's attention. And they are shortened. t: can you make some sentences about the headlines? T will point headlines and ask Sts if they can make any sentence. T will accept any which are grammatically correct and make sense.

Controlled practice / Matching the phrases and listening (11-13 minutes) • To make sure students will be able to identify and talk about headlines.

T will give answers.
