Procedure (41-50 minutes)
T tells Ss they are going to watch some videos. T opens the videos and asks about the main idea of what they have watched. T elicits answers and writes target vocabulary which she elicited from Ss and asks Ss whether they have done any charity work. (If they have done any charity work, T asks when and to whom)
T makes sentences with "previously, donation, charity, save money" and elicits their meaning. After eliciting, T informs students about the form of each vocabulary and asks students to repeat the word after her to teach Ss the pronunciation of each word. Then, T asks Ss to log in to Wordwall to match the meanings with the words ("previously, donation, charity, save money"). T instructs Ss about timing. T asks ICQ. After Ss completes the task, T gives feedback.
T asks Ss to have a gist reading of the text. T gives 1 min for Ss for gist reading. T asks the following question: "What's the main idea of the text?". T highlights the title of the text and elicits the possible details that the text might include.
T gives Ss time Ss to read for the details and tells Ss to look at the questions in the 1c section of the book. T sets the instructions for this task and provides ICQ to make sure Ss understand the task.T ends the time and asks Ss to log in Mentimeter to answer the questions. T gives feedback for the answers.
T starts a class discussion by asking the following question: "Does the article make you feel differently about giving your money away? Why / Why not?". Then, T asks Ss to form two groups as a class and come up with an idea for charity work as a group. Ss will discuss what kind of charity work they can do and they will share their charity project with the whole class. The two groups will give feedback to each other.
