Procedure (36-49 minutes)
I intend to provide a short film which shows that some people are applying their smartphones and social networks in the warm-up phase in order to make them guess about the topic and provide the context before pre-reading phase.
Pre-teaching vocabulary: I intend to elicit the vocabulary the covered in ex 1.
Get Ss to answer the questions in ex 1. I try to make it a game-like activity so that it becomes more interactive.
Get Ss to read the text and do ex 2 a&b. The students are read individually and then check with their group.
I'll do ex 3. By asking 1 or 2 questions through elicitation technique, I'll be able to take feedback. Also, by monitoring and checking their answers.
Students will do ex 4 in groups. They answer the questions and talk about their own ideas and experiences.
