Procedure (46-58 minutes)
Put the word internet on the board (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) and elicit the answer from students. I'm thinking of a word in my mind, this word is about something that was started in the 1960's by the US Military. It became public in 1991. It's something we all use mostly everyday. Give students questions 1-5 from exercise one and put them in 2 or 3 groups to discuss the questions.

Have students read the task and see if any of their ideas were correct. (ex. 2b) Take whole class feedback on this.
Have students read the article again individually and answer the questions for ex. 3 check in pairs, give answer key.
In pairs discuss questions in exercise 4. Have a few students give there opinion to the whole group.
