Main Aims

To provide reading practice for gist and specific information in the context of ghosts.

Subsidiary Aims

To provide clarification of words surrounding the topic of ghosts.

Procedure (35-47 minutes)

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

I will ask the following questions: 1. Do you believe in ghosts? 2. Has anyone ever seen a ghost? I will then allow for around 3 minutes of discussion about the possibility of existence of ghosts as a class.

Pre-Reading (7-10 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

I will introduce these 3 words to the students: MEANING 1. Sceptical - CCQ: If I am sceptical, do I believe what I am being told easily? i.e. Being naturally sceptical about these kinds of surveys, I always take them with a grain of salt. 2. Vanish - CCQ: is the subject still present if it it has vanished? i.e. We watched him for about a minute and then he suddenly vanished. 3. Proof - CCQ: Do I have a hard time believing something if I need proof? i.e. However, as someone once said, for the believer, no proof is required - but for the sceptic, no proof is sufficient. FORM I will illicit the form from the students through asking questions before showing them the example of the word from the texrt. PRONUNCIATION 1. I will model words for the students. 2. I will ask the students to count the syllables in each word. 3. I will ask the students to drill (repeat the words after me)

While-Reading #1 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

I will ask students to read the text quickly to get the general idea. They will have around 3 minutes to read the text. I will then have them give each paragraph of the text a heading from a group of proposed headings, there will be one extra. They will have around 3-5 minutes to complete the task Proposed headings: a A weekend invitation b A good night's sleep c A nation of believers d Still a sceptic e How the weekend began f A spooky experience After they provide their responses I will conduct open-class feedback (OCFB). We will go over their responses for about 3-4 minutes

While-Reading #2 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with a more challenging detailed, deduction, and inference based reading task

I will ask students to carefully read the text to deduce whether a series of statements are true or false. They will report their answers on a google doc and have 5-6 minutes to do so. Google doc: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKh745PDB_DKrdcHpQ8ZT-se9QfyIvXEDMRADKf5taIIbsSA/viewform I will ask the students to justify their answers in pairs in a BOR for around 5-6 minutes.

Post-Reading (5-8 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

After they discuss their responses in pairs, we will verify / go over their responses as a class. I will conduct open-class feedback (OCFB) as we discuss the reading and their response, giving delayed error correction (DEC) afterwards.
