Pre-Reading (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

-T presents sentences that contain the challenging vocabulary for the Ss and elicits the meaning using CCQs: Her lawyer says some of the workers' claims were an outright fabrication. fabrication (n), - Does it mean to produce fabric? (no) - Is it related to the news? (yes) - Does it mean to tell facts? (no) Other words are "accurate, exaggeration, prejudice, bias, bogus, and credible". -T pronounces the words and corrects the Ss mistakes. - T asks Ss to do an online exercise where they categorize the words into two categories: Truths & Untruths. - Ss work in pairs/ groups to do the exercise and T gives them feedback
