Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

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.

Pre-Reading (5-8 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

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.

Peer Check (1-2 minutes) • To build students' confidence before open class feedback (OCFB)

Students compare their answers in breakout rooms.

Feedback (1-2 minutes) • To get feedback on the content of the task

Ask student volunteers to share how they matched and after they say their answer show if it was correct.

While-Reading #1 (3-5 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

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.

Feedback (1-2 minutes) • To get feedback on the content of the task

Have student volunteers read the correct answer (Jamboard). Students may make corrections if necessary.

While-Reading #2 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

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.

Post-Reading (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

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.

Feedback (1-2 minutes) • To get feedback on the content of the task

Share opinions and ask follow-up questions about how the solution could be implemented.

Language Feedback (3-5 minutes) • To help learners notice gaps or errors in the English they used and a correct example

Show a list of errors heard during the post-reading activity. Ask students what could be improved and write the correct form below.
