Vocabulary (5-8 minutes) • to enable students to understand different meanings and usage of the word 'Right'

Ask Ss to remember whether you are right-handed or left-handed. After they use the word 'right' several times, write with both hands and surprise them! Ask one or two Ss to come to the board and try writing with both hands. Give Ss the Matching Handout. Ss individually work on the handout. Monitor. Ss check in pairs. Check the answers with the whole-class and the key on the screen.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Give Ss the Listening Handout. Ask Ss to answer the questions from the memory (individually). Ss check in pairs. Play the audio file (play each section separately). Ss check in pairs. Get feedback and show the key.

Post-Reading/Listening (5-8 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Give Ss Controlled Speaking Handout. Ss complete the handout in groups. Put two groups together to share their answers. Ask for some general feedback from the groups.
