ICQs for this stage: Will you work alone or with a partner? "with a partner" How many minutes have you got? "5"
T tells Ss to make a gist reading for 2 minutes to see if making lists really works for everyone. Then T asks Ss to discuss in pairs about their answers for a minute. This stage ends with a WC feedback. ICQs for this stage: How many minutes have you got to read? "2 minutes"
