Reading About Air Travel
Elementary level

Description

Students will practice reading as their main aim with gist and reading for details as their sub aims. The lesson begins with an eliciting activity after photos are presented to the students. Students will then be split into 2 groups to read separate texts with the same gist questions. Detail questions will follow. Students will also switch groups and retell the stories by paraphrasing without sharing the text. If time permits, both readings are given to students to complete questions form the student workbook. Students will work in pairs for error correction and feedback.
