Students are introduced to some names from a text they read in a previous lesson. Students have to share what they remember about these characters in terms of their importance or role in the text; the teacher elicits as many answers as possible and note them on the board for a more visual record. The teacher shares the link to the text (Google Slides) and asks students to check their answers: Professor Wiseman – leading psychologist of a program called The People Watchers. Emma – a psychologist pretending to be a hairdresser. Jack – a psychologist who persuaded people to dress as a tree
