Description

In this lesson, students will practice reading, speaking, and learn some new vocabulary within the context of the environment. At the beginning, they will predict and discuss what the topic is about, and then they will do a quiz to see how eco-guilty they are. After that, students will discuss with their peers about the topic and compare their opinions. Later student will read the article "The carbon crime of our century". They will do prediction first to guess what the article is about. Then they will do three exercise: read for gist, read for detail, and a vocabulary task. When they read for detail, they will also learn vocabulary through guided discovery. Throughout these exercises, students will be speaking to each other a lot by doing pair-work, peer-checking, peer-teaching and peer-correction.
