I will tell them a story and tell Sts to listen and tell me what it means, I use this to generate the meaning of the text title which is that beauty is subjective I offer to tell them again then Sts give me there ideas about the meaning. then I write a couple of the Sts sentences if they are accurate enough then I write beauty is in the eye of the beholder
then I turn the sentence into a question showing the title of the text and tell them we are going to read a text entitled ''Is beauty in the eye of the beholder?'' and ask them to predict what will it be about? then I say discuss in pairs
Then I ''so is beauty in the eye of the beholder? read the first eleven lines and answer the question, they tell me the answer I ask why I focus their attention on words , attraction, quantifiable and objective asking a volunteer to read them in their sentences and drill pronunciation and quickly check meanings
then I ask them to read the whole text to answer the true and false questions at the top then the Sts check answers with their partner then I elicit answers on the board and ask them to justify them
I say now look at the underlined words with your partner look at the context and discuss what you think they mean I write the eight words on the board while they discuss then I ask a different pair for each word to tell me what they think and I help them and check they have got it and show syllable stress and drill
