The teacher shows some pictures which are related to the passage. While doing so the teacher elicits the words, by asking them if they can name those pictures. This part includes pre-teaching as well, so some new words are going to be taught here. The teacher shows the pictures, elicits, shows the stress and drills. Then the teacher asks the students to make a story using these words ( pictures) Students are assigned to groups of three and they try to make a story in three minutes( they all should write the story down) When their time is over Students come back to the main room. The teacher explains the net step which is students go to different groups and share their stories and see if they have the same idea or not. Students are in groups of three so they need 3 minutes to finish reading their story. When they are back the teacher randomly asks some students to share their friends' stories or if they heard an interesting one.
The teacher asks students to read the caption and answer the question "who and what is the article about"? The teacher gives students 1 minute. After, the teacher elicits the answer. In the second stage, the teacher shows some pictures of Dr. Alsous and his daughter and asks students what else do they want to know? The teacher assigns students in their pairs and they should come up with at least two questions in takes 3 minutes.
The teacher tells students to read the whole text and they try to find their answers, but the teacher changes the group, and students should read the text and compare their questions, it takes 5 minutes. When students are back, the teacher shows the topic again and asks students if they know what does the title refer to? The teacher elicits the title and shows it on the slide when students get the answer right.
In the second while-reading task, the teacher divides the class into two groups, group A and group B. Each group has a link, the teacher gives the link to the groups and asks them to use the link to make the questions by the prompts. They can check their answer while doing the task. ( each group has a different set of questions) When they are back, the teacher shows them the correct form of the questions, then the teacher gives each group their own text, then group A and group B are mixed with each other, the teacher assigns them into groups of two or four depending on the number attendance. Students in their groups will ask their questions and their partner should answer the question from their text. When students are back the teacher shows the answers and sends them the answer in the chat box.
