- T provides the Ss with the reading material including an attached list of questions for the gist task - with the left side folded because it contains some info related to another task (ex 1a) - T asks the Ss to read the text for the first time - Ss discuss the answers in pairs for 2 minutes - Ss check answers with the whole desk - T provides the answer keys - T asks if anyone had a different answer
