Art clips of men and women doing different activities will be put on the w/b and ss will be asked their opinion about what gender can do better than the other on each of those activities. I will elicit some words by using pictures and definitions, perhaps giving some context. What follows is Ex 1 with a short discussion in pairs (or small groups) in which the ss will choose what category they think men and women fit in better and then all the ideas will be shared w/c.

By pairs, ss will look at strips of paper previously put on the wall and with sentences from ex 2 written on them. Ss will walk around, read the sentences aloud and discuss which statement is true and which one false. After they sit down, I will take some FB about what ss think is true or false, but no definitive or checked answer will be given. Reading time follows (no more than 2 minutes). Then we'll do some FB about the text and if there are any questions about vocab I will deal with them. We will proceed to do ex 3 and ss will read the text again in order to find the answers to the questions. Peer checking of the answers goes afterwards.

A sentence will be written on the w/b and ("Brain cells can only be seen with a microscope") and ss will try to to find out what the word cell means. I'll ask students to explain how they could guess from the sentence. Then ss will work in small groups trying to guess the meanings in ex 4. Then w/c checking of the meanings ss come up with. The last activity of this lesson will be ex 5 -a discussion in small groups and a chat among ss about the interesting things ss found in the text.
