Procedure (46-57 minutes)
showing them a clip that shows kids playing in the playground unsupervised. Another clip of kids at home being supervised while using the computer or a mobile phone. Each clip wont last more than 20 seconds, so the two clips will take only 40 seconds maximum from the lesson time. Then ask the students about what they think about these kids parents. What advises could be given to both types of parents.
Students will be asked to give this text another title that's suitable for it based on the content in just ninety minutes. Which will motivate them to read quickly. Exposing them to a gist reading and activity. As an easy task to start the reading lesson with.
Students will be a sheet of paper with questions of multiple choices to choose from about some specific information in the text such as numbers, names or years. After that they will be told to answer it individually at the beginning but after two minutes they will be asked to pair and check their answers together. Then we start the feedback together.
Ask the students to read the text now in a more specified detailed way because they will be asked to answer questions related to the text in detail. First they read individually, then check their answers in groups of three, after that the feedback.
This will be the last stage of the lesson, it is supposed to be the time students get to practice speaking using the blocking words they just learned talking about what inventions could help to protect the children, and some school regulations or government laws to protect children. This will be a freer practice, where they get to spend much time speaking and then after at least seven minutes the teacher will start some feedback to listen to their opinions, showing genuine interest.
