Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • -To set the context and activate students' schematic knowledge.

Ask the Ss to discuss these 2 questions in pairs: (display the two questions on the projector) 1-Which of these do you do if you go out with your friends? 2-Which do you never do? Why not?

Pre-Reading (10-12 minutes) • -To stimulate interest in the topic and establish a purpose for reading. -To pre-teach blocking words to make the text more accessible.

-Project the three activities with photos ( eating pizzas, dancing in clubs and discos , enjoying a little karaoke) and ask the students "Which country/countries do you associate with these things?" -Don't confirm the students' answers at this stage as they'll read the text to confirm the ideas in the next stage. -Pre-teach these words (ingredient, banned, a craze (n.), tone-deaf, applaud, unwind); ECDW ( Elicit the words, CCQs- at least two-, Drill it while clapping on the stressed syllable, then lastly write it on the board or just stick the card with blue tack on the board-Don't forget to clarify which part of speech it is)

While-Reading #1 (8-10 minutes) • -To skim for the main idea ( reading for gist= skimming)

-Ask students to read the text in 1 minute to confirm their ideas in the pre-reading stage. -Set the task (ex2b) with clear ICQs-at least 2; one minute,write just the numbers, alone;no looking- and monitor to assure that they are doing the right exercise.(adopt the text with its questions in a separated hand out and don't fordet the copyrights) -Check in Pairs -Provide Answers key displayed on the projector. -For feedback, ask the students if they ever wondered how these things(these three activities) started?

While-Reading #2 (10-12 minutes) • -To scan for specific information.

- Chest the scanning task , make them look at the questions and tell them that they need to answer these questions, tell them that they need to read quickly as they only have 2 minutes. -Ask them clear short ICQs; how many questions we have?>8, Are we going to read every word?>No, Are we going to read quickly? Yes. -Give them the text with the questions(that I have been chesting) as a handout. (encourage the ss to read it upside down to avoid reading the whole text) -Ss check in pairs. -Provide the Answer key on the projector.

Post-Reading (10-12 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to respond orally to the text.

-Ask ss if they were surprised by anything in the text. -Ask them to discuss these questions (may be I can Demo first) ( You can either give these questions as a handout or display it on the projector) 1- How popular are the activities mentioned in your country? Are there any other forms of entertainment from abroad that are currently popular? 2- Do people around the world enjoy food, music,etc. from your country? 3- Is American/ international influence increasing where you live? In what ways? If so, do you think this is a good or a bad thing? #( Ask your tutor if you can replace "your country" with "Egypt" to personalize it more for the ss???) # Get the ss to practise these questions and answers by walking around the room and ask at least three people. Play some loud music to liven up the atmosphere. #Keep monitoring & take written & mental notes for the Feedback. # Don't forget to leave at least 2-3 minutes for Linguistic & Humanistic Feedback.
