Description

In this lesson , students read about two mega cities ( Tokyo) and ( Mexico City). The teacher creates interest in the text by showing some pictures of mega cities around the world and tries to elicit the word mega city from the students then asks them to list few problems for people who live in big cities. They scan to check if the problems they listed match the problems of the cities in the text . Then the students go through a series of tasks where they read for detailed comprehension and read again to identify isolated pieces of information and read parts of the text to guess the meaning of words or other chunks of language based on context. Finally , comes the Speaking task where they practice and produce what they learned from the reading by asking questions about the text.
