Procedure (35-45 minutes)

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

To begin the lesson, I will ask the Ss to predict the theme/topic by showing them 3 pictures of the evolution of the television. This will also help them in understanding the terms black and white tv, colour tv and smart tv/flatscreen. I will then ask the Ss to discuss another area of technology that has changed over time and how that has affected them. To help with understanding, I will ask CCQs and I will give a model answer on telephones. 3 mins in pairs 2 mins discussion OC

Pre-Reading (8-10 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

M&F I will choose 4 words from the text that may prove problematic for the Ss. I will ask them to line up against their relevant pictures. Record (verb) - Save for later Seventies (noun) - Period of time Live (adjective) - Happening now Explain (verb) - Give understanding To confirm understanding I will ask Ss to complete a fill in the blank task as OC. P - Line up the same words against their picture, then elicit syllables and stress of the words from the Ss. Use phonetics and rhyme to help with Live.

While-Reading (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Gist This will be a straight forward task of providing the text for the Ss to read. Once they have finished they will have to find 3 things that are mentioned in the text about how TV was different in the seventies. To confirm understanding I will ask 'Different in the seventies compared to when?' They will have 4 minutes to complete, 3 mins for discussion with a partner and 3 mins for OC feedback.

While-Reading (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Detailed We will continue straight away with the reading of the same text. They will also be given a link to a questionnaire on forms to complete while reading or after reading. How many children has Gavin got? When was Gavin a child? When did Gavin's family get their first colour TV? What did his family do that evening? What type of TV does Gavin have now? They will have 4-5 minutes to complete and 2-3 minutes for peer checking and 2 mins for OC feedback.

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

To finish the lesson we will use a lucky dip style OC speaking task. The Ss one by one will choose a number from the jamboard. Behind the numbers are different topics or themes of technology. Each S must make 1 or 2 sentences about how this technology has changed from before to now. Once the S has finished their sentence(s) then the next S can pick a number. We will continue for 6-8 mins, leaving 2 mins for any DEC.
