- T shows Ss the text about Lottie’s experience in Mongolia - Ss have already seen this text so I will ask them what they remember. However, it’s important to remember that some Ss might not have been in the class. - Ss read the text quickly and answer the questions: - What surprised Lottie about Mongolia? - What was difficult for Lottie to become accustomed to? - Instructions: Hopefully most of you will recognise this text from another lesson! Can you remember anything about Mongolia? I would like you to read the text quickly – if you are reading for the first time, think about whether Lottie’s experience was positive or negative.
