Procedure

Lead-in (5-6 minutes) • to prepare the sts for the reading, to set the context

I ll try to convey the meaning of competition by giving local example (survivor,o ses turkiye), to be sure the students understood I will ask CCQ: do you or your friends enter competitions? what things do people win in competitions? these questions will also set a context for the text. I will aslo pre-teach loser and winner (showing a photo).

Reading for gist (4-5 minutes) • to give students practice in reading for gist, to make a prediction

I will ask sts to read first paragraph and discuss in pairs wether the reading will be about losers or winners. FB: I will ask CCQs to check if they understood the text: do many people enter competitions every year? (yes) Do many people win?(no)

reading for specific information, jigsaw reading (10-11 minutes) • to practice detailed reading, to practice speaking

First I introduce sts to the characters: Jim and Sandra, competition winners. I will divide class in two halves, A and B. One half reads about Jim, the other one about Sandra. Then they answer the questions about their characters. After that, A and B work together in pairs and ask same questions about each other's characters. FB: peer check, WC check.

scanning text (12-15 minutes) • to find adjectives

First I ll write a sentence on the WB: I stayed in a very expensive hotel. I will ask students to point an adjective in this sentence. I will also pre-teach some of the adjs from the text. Then I will ask students to scan the text and underline all the adjectives. I ll give them a number - 20. I will give sts HOs with adjectives from the reading, I will ask them to match opposites

speaking (10-12 minutes) • to practice using TL

I will demonstrate instructions: each st gets a different picture. There is a description written on each of the pictures e.g. a beautiful woman.
