Warmer/Lead-in (5-8 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

The lesson is about women in politics so i will show pictures of women politicians (slide 1) and ask the learners who are they? and what's in common between all these people trying to elicit the concept from the learners. as a warm up for vocabularies and clearing the context i will write or show the questions in straightforward upper- intermediate course book ex 1, and ask the learners to work in pairs and share their ideas about the questions in the classroom.

Pre-Listening (8-10 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

I will give the learners a text about election (Straightforward, upper-intermediate, course book ,page 58, ex2 ), there are some words/phrases in highlighted in the text. i will separate the class into two groups and give each group some pieces of papers, one group has the Word/phrases that are highlighted in the text and the other group has the definition of those words.
