TP4 - Reading - The truth about air travel
Upper Intermediate level

Description

In this lesson, students will be introduced to air travel and the truth about it. Firstly, they will predict the topic with some pictures showed by the teacher. After that, they will read the back cover of a book and answer the questions in pairs. Then, they will read the main text for gist and the teacher will pre-teach a few items which might block understanding. Then they will read for detail to answer a true and false exercise. Finally, students will do a speaking activity: "find someone who" involving statements around the topic.

DON'T give the answers yet.

While-Reading #1 (9-13 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading tasks
