Procedure (25-38 minutes)
After greeting the students and creating a good rapport with the students, The teacher will begin the lesson with a "Gues Who?" game. The teacher will make pairs and he will stick a black photo with a big question mark on it on the WB and then he will explain the rules of the game. He will use some ICQs to check the students' understanding. The students will have a chance to revise and practice Yes/No questions in the context of a game.
In this pre- reading stage, the teacher will teach some new vocabulary that will help the students to understand the upcoming reading text better. Taking the MFU in to consideration in vocabulary teaching, the teacher will firstly focus on meaning. To have a better understanding the teacher will make up a story that will include the target vocabulary. After using CCQs, the teacher will continue with the form(spelling and pronunciation,drilling). After drilling the words as a whole class, the teacher will focus on the use (part of the speech,register etc.) of the vocabulary
in the while reading stage, the teacher will make pairs. The students will be given three small paragraphs and they will put the paragraph in to correct order to make the reading text. The students will have to read the paragraphs to put them in to the correct order. The teacher will get feedback from some of the students and give answers. After reading the text, the students will be given another HO. The students will make full sentences with the sentence halves given. The teacher will get feedback from the students and give the correct answers.
As an alternative activity, If the teacher has time, he will be able to ask some gist and main idea questions by nominating some of the uninterested students to involve them in to the lesson.
This will be an integrated activity which is a combination of both receptive and productive skills. As it will be a guided writing activity, the students will be given an HO about Kathy Perry's new release album and They will fill the blanks with the information given.
