Procedure (36-53 minutes)
Use a question in pg. 56 Ex. 1 to set the context for the lesson. Show a jamboard with some pictures related to the task. Give an example of a personal response. Have learners discuss this in pairs in break-out rooms for 2 minutes.
Show a jamboard with the anticipated challenging words from the text. Have students work in individually to match the words with pictures that represent them.
Students compare their answers in breakout rooms.
Ask student volunteers to share how they matched and after they say their answer show if it was correct.
Use exercise 2 as a prediction task. Learners read quickly to check their predictions to read for Gist and get the general idea of the text.
Have student volunteers read the correct answer (Jamboard). Students may make corrections if necessary.
In break-out rooms students take turns reading and then work together to answer exercise 3A (Google Forms). Encourage them to take turns reading aloud while monitoring the break-out rooms.
Students work in pairs to create an alternative solution to on of the problems. They will use Canva, Jamboard or Google Slides to make a poster representing it. They explain their solution to the class. Meanwhile, make a list of errors Ss make to go over as a delayed error correction.
Share opinions and ask follow-up questions about how the solution could be implemented.
Show a list of errors heard during the post-reading activity. Ask students what could be improved and write the correct form below.
