Procedure (144-184 minutes)
The students look at the photos, they come across the names of two famous brands, whose founders and logos are clearly visible. Each of the students, who has information, expresses it in the class, and with this discussion, everyone understands what the topic is and what we are going to talk about and practice.
I have already extracted a number of important and guiding words from the texts that will help the students to understand more, I’ll teach them.PC,power struggle, roaster, launch, antiglobalization,
one of students read through the questions as a class. Help with any vocabulary questions. I,ll put students into two groups, A and B. Assign a text to each group and l remind students to read only their text:Group A - Apple Group B - Starbucks Have students read their text quickly, asking others in their group for help with vocabulary or using a dictionary.I monitor and help as necessary.Students work in their groups and answer the questions about their text, writing down the answers to each one.Monitor and help as necessary.
I regroup the students,there is an A and a B student in each pair. Demonstrate the activity by having a pair of students answer the first question. I encourage them to use their own words and not read directly from the text. Students continue exchanging the information from their article. I monitor and help as necessary. I write down any common errors for correction after the information exchange. I bring the whole class together to check answers. students have to expand on their answers where applicable
This stage reviews question formation with a series of answers based on the content of the articles.I will focus on the first item and I ask which article it relates to (Apple). Elicit the wording for the first question.Give students time to write the questions that go with their article. I monitor and help as necessary. Check the wording of the questions by having students write them on the board. Encourage class correction of any mistakes.
First I elicit the first adverb from the Apple article as an example. Next l’ll put students in pairs to find the adverbs and match them to the meanings. Check the answers with the class.
one of the students read the question as a class. I’ll put students in small groups to make a list of arguments against multinationals.And elicit students' personal views in a brief class discussion.
