Procedure (44-69 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (3-7 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

- I will start the session by asking them about how they spent their Eid. - I will keep eliciting answers from them until I get close to the target word, which is "carnival". - If they didn't get close to it, I will use this as an introduction to the 1-minute lead-in video, which shows the idea of a carnival in an entertaining way. - After they watch the video, I will send them in pairs/groups to discuss some questions about carnivals. - When they are done, I will make sure they shared the answers together.

Pre-Teaching Vocabulary (2-5 minutes) • To prepare the students for the text by teaching them the blocking words.

- I will show them the pictures first and I'll elicit the meaning of the picture from them. - When they get the meaning, I will introduce the word to them and ask them to pronounce it without reading it first. - I will then show them the word in addition to an example.

Reading for gist (8-10 minutes) • To generate general information about the text of the lesson.

- I will ask them to read the text silently in 5 minutes and try to the understand what is happening in brief. - When they finish reading, I will send them in pairs/groups to discuss what they understood for 2 minutes. - I will use ICQs to make sure they got the instructions clearly.

Reading for specific information (8-12 minutes) • To generate specific information about the text of the lesson.

- I will show them some questions before they read. - I will ask them to read the text silently and answer the detailed questions while reading. - I will use ICQs to make sure they got the instructions clearly. - When they finish reading, I will send them in pairs/groups for 2 minutes to discuss the answers together.

Text Analysis (8-10 minutes) • To give the students a chance to analyze the useful language in the text.

- I will show them a picture of missing words. - I will ask them to find the missing words in the text. - I will give them a hint that those words are underlined. - I will use ICQs to make sure they got the instructions clearly. - When they finish, I will send them in pairs/groups for 2 minutes to check their answers.

Writing (10-15 minutes) • To give the students a chance to reflect on the text by writing.

- I will ask them to write a paragraph about a carnival they have attended before. - If they haven't attended one, I will ask them to imagine one and write about it. - I will make sure they use the useful language (text analysis) in their writing. - I will use ICQs to make sure they got the instructions clearly. - When they finish, I will ask everyone to share their paragraphs with me.

Feedback (5-10 minutes) • To give the students content and language feedback on their paragraphs.

- I will praise them on using the content and useful language of the text. - If they haven't used it correctly, I will correct their mistakes.
