Procedure (33-44 minutes)
Will get a coffee cup as a realia to introduce them to the topic of "The Coffee Cup".
Will show the reading text to learners, divide them into groups, hand them a copy of the reading extract each, set a time limit then ask them to choose a title for the text from the board.
Will show the HO to learners, hand each one of them a copy, sit a time limit for them to read questions then let them listen to the rest of the story. After that, will ask them to answer the questions in their groups.
Here, will be showing the learners the HO then distribute copies of HO to each one of them. While in groups, they will be listening to extracts from the text and complete the missing words.
While in groups, learners will be asked two questions for open discussion. At the end, I will introduce them to the quote of Stuart Chase "For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible."
