T reflects the introduction part of the articles of both Jame and Shilpa, shows HOs to SS and asks them to read it quickly (1 min.), T gives HOs to SS, SS skim the information and T will ask SS to talk with their friend 'what do they think the reading is going to be about', After a minute T asks w/c and get "weekend" as the answer. Once SS find the gist of the text, T divides SS into two groups, Shows each group their own reading (Jamie/Shilpa) T asks them to read their text and answer T/F questions. "There are true and false sentences about Jamie and Shilpa, please find the true sentences." T asks ICQs "Are you writing?" : YES "Is every sentence true?" : NO T gives HOs, SS find the true sentences SS peer check T monitors closely T gives group FB.
SS sit as two circles, One group read about Jamie Cullum, the other about Shilpa Shetty, T shows each group their HOs by saying "You are group Jamie and you are group Shilpa, please answer the questions with your group members" T asks ICQs: *(to Shilpa's group) "Are you reading about Jamie?" : NO "Are you answering the questions about Shilpa?" : YES *(to Jamie's group) "Are you reading about Shilpa?" : NO "Are you answering questions about Jamie?" : YES T sets the time to 4 minutes, T gives HOs. When SS are on task, T monitors closely When SS finish the exercise, T asks SS to unbreak their circle and sit as a line T cross pairs the SS with one from each group, T tells SS to ask and answer questions about Jamie and Shilpa to find what is the same/similar about them.
