The teacher tells students they are going to read a text about two actresses, Janet Leigh and Jamie Lee Curtis. They will be asked to focus on the photos and asked if they have heard of them.
In this stage, the teacher asks Students what the title Like mother, like daughter means.
The students are going to learn some new vocabularies.
This part gets them out of the extremely bad habit they often have of reading every single word in excruciating detail. When people read in their first language, they never read all the words. Instead, they just skim or scan the page to look for the information they need.
The teacher Puts students in pairs, A and B. students A re-read the paragraphs about Janet Leigh and students B the ones about Jamie Lee Curtis. Now, books closed, A tells B anything he / she can remember about Janet Leigh.
