Procedure

Lead in (6-10 minutes) • To get students' attention to the reading topic: Astrology

I will have ready 12 pictures representing the star signs on the wall. I will ask them about the pictures and elicit as much as possible from the students.

Discussion on Astrology (3-5 minutes) • To get students' in to the topic and elicit from them useful vocabulary

I will ask them to discuss in pairs about astrology. I will asloprovide them with question like "Do they believe in astrology?", "What is their astrological sign?", "How often do they read their horoscope?".

First, I will show the possible title alternatives. I'll make sure that they fully understand the meaning behind the titles, may be do some vocabulary practice. Then I ask them to read the text quickly and discuss on the possible title with their partners. Then I will get FB.

They will come to the board and write down the missing letters one by one.
