“There was my name up in lights. I said, 'God, somebody's made a mistake.' But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, 'Remember, you're not a star.' Yet there it was up in lights.” ― Marilyn Monroe, Fragments: Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters T writes the quote on board and asks Ss what it is about. Ss discuss in pairs. T tries to elicit the answer "She's talking about a memory / a past event". Later, a WC FB.
T divides class into two groups. T hands HO1. Ss have 2 minutes to match the pictures with the words in groups. While Ss are busy, T hangs the answers on different parts of the walls. Then, Ss check the answers of the other group and the answers on the walls. T drills some words such as "divorce" , "marriage" , "coal miner" and "charity".
"What do you know about Andy Warhol?" "What do you know about Princess Diana?" T asks these questions. Ss have 2 minutes to discuss in groups and then a quick WC FB. T names one group Andy Warhol and the other one Princess Diana and writes the question on the WB; "Was Andy a good student?" "Was Diana a good student?" "How did he die?" "How did she die?" T hands HO2 and tell Ss to fold them. Ss have 1 minute to skim the text and find the answers. They discuss their answers in groups and a WC FB.
Ss have 3 minutes to read the text again but this time in detail and answer the questions in groups. ICQs; "How much time do you have?" "Will you answer the questions alone or in groups?" T chooses one student from each group as pairs. Group Andy Warhol ask questions about Diana and group Princess Diana ask questions about Andy. CCQs; "Will you ask questions about Andy or Diana?" "Will you talk in groups or in pairs?" After that, a WC FB.
Ss have 2 minutes to write down 5 things about a famous Turkish they like who is dead. Then tells them to others and they try to find who he/she is. But before that T demonstrates the activity; 1.
