Procedure (51-66 minutes)
I will show students some pictures of transport that was used in the past and what is used now, and I will make with them a discussion about the difference between now and the old days using transport and which one is the easy, fast,and comfortable.
1: I will devide students into pairs to read and answer the questions 1&2. Then they go to the photo bank to check their answers and focus on the stressed syllables in the words. Students can use their dictionaries to check words they don’t know or they can ask me about it if they don’t have dictionaries. 2: students will work in pairs, look at the photos and discuss the questions1&2&3 the photos are from films and it will show students knowledge about them. I will not confirm any details about the films until after Ex. 4. I will check the questions and the meaning of new words in the word box. I will give students 3-4 minuets to discuss the questions. In feedback I will elicit students predictions and write some of them on the board- but I will not confirm if they are correct or not.
3: this is a jigsaw reading, it is important to set this up carefully to make sure students don’t look at their partners’ texts before they’ve all exchanged information about them I will check he questions then put students into groups of three A,b and c. I will give them 4-5 minuets to look at their texts and make notes of the answers. While they are working I will monitor and see if they need something. 4: students take turns to tell the group about their texts, make notes about the other texts and see if their answers to exercise 2 correct? 5: students will discuss three questions and I will monitoring, take notes of their language problems. Discuss the questions with the class and give feedback.
