Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-3 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

T writes 'urban' on WB and asks Ss what it means. After they come up with ideas, T writes 'urbanisation' to ask the same. Then Ss will be given pictures of Sheikh Zayed road in Dubai, one taken in 1991, another in 2005. T will ask Ss: What changes can you see on this pictures?

Pre-Reading/Listening (3-6 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Ss will do ex 2 on p.58 as a pre-reading task. T will ask them to read a question first and try to answer it reading only the introduction in pairs. Then T writes some of the confusing words on WB to elicit their meanings.

While-Reading #1 (3-4 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading tasks

Ss will read the text to get the general idea and match with the given short summaries in ex.3; T sets time limit of 1 min and 1 min to discuss them with a partner. T will encourage them to come up with correct answers by asking additional questions about particular lines in the text.

While-Reading #2 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading tasks

Ss will do a detailed reading and discuss their answers with a partner. During the feedback T will present some more new words and elicit their meanings with Ss. Then T will write Good changes and Bad changes on the WB and divide them into four big groups to come and write ideas.

Post-Reading/Listening (10-15 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Ss will fill in the new vocabulary on ex. 6 (p.59), after which the T will write some of the words on WB to discuss their meanings with WC. Then T divides Ss into small groups and gives one general question for everyone and one specific for each group and asks them to write down ideas together. T then asks and concludes the lesson by giving definitions of new vocabulary to quickly check if they memorized them.
