Life without a TV: Students look at two different rooms, one is with a TV and the other one is not. Ask them to tell the differences between the rooms. Once they have realized that there is no TV in one of the rooms, have them think about what they can do without a TV at home? Demonstrate the activity,then have them work in closed pairs to discuss it. Check if they have understood the activity (ICQS) Instruct: “Imagine that there is no TV at your home. What other activities can you do without a TV?” Demonstrate: “Maybe I can read a book or I can do the cleaning.” ICQS: “Are you going to talk about activities you do with television?” “ (YES/NO)

After that, distribute the worksheets for the pre-reading and tell them to fold the worksheet as you demonstrate and not to read the article. “ Everyone, fold your paper, please. Don’t read the article!” “Are you going to read the article?” (ICQS) They work in closed pairs and guess the answers to the questions. “Do you know the answers?” (ICQS)
