Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will ask my ss the following questions on the screen. Then I’ll nominate a student to ask me. I will answer to show example. After, as normally only 2-3 students join, I will ask them to nominate each other. 1. Who do you think is the most beautiful man/woman in the world? 2. Does your country (or the country you currently live in) have a cultural beauty standard?

Pre-Reading (4-5 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

I will explain the task and then ask ICQ’s: (How long do you have? 3 minutes. Do you work individually or with a partner? Individually). I will ask them not to submit it. I will ask Ss to read the following sentences and answer the questions that follow them: MEANING 1. Since I was a child, my family TRADITIONALLY eats breakfast before opening presents on Christmas morning. CCQ: Do we do the same thing every year at Christmas? Yes 2. The pipe under the bathroom sink is made of LEAD. CCQ: Is the pipe made of a type of metal? Yes 3. My sister is really ATHLETIC. She runs 10km every day. CCQ: Is my sister good at exercise and sports? Yes 4. After she lost the hair on her head during cancer, she started wearing a WIG. CCQ: The woman has no hair. What does she put on head to look like her real hair? A wig FORM I will elicit the form from Ss. PRONUNCIATION 1. I will model words. 2. I will ask Ss to identify number of syllables and stress. 3. I will ask my Ss to drill.

While-Reading #1 (6-7 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading tasks

I will explain the task and then ask ICQ’s (How long do you have? 3 minutes. Do you work individually or with a partner? Individually) I will ask the Ss to read the text quickly and match the headings to the correct paragraphs. I will give my students 3 minutes to work individually. We will then have open class feedback.

While-Reading #2 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading tasks

I will ask Ss to read statements for 1 minute. I will explain the next task and then ask ICQ’s (How long do you have? 4 minutes. Do you work individually or with a partner? Individually.) Once finished reading the statements, they will have 4 minutes to determine if they are T/F. I will ask my students to justify their answers (underline where they found the answer). Ss will take turns answering and can check answers with each other. I will then provide some open-class feedback.

Post-Reading (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

I will put the following 2 questions on the screen. I will get a student to ask me to show example. I will then get them to nominate each other. If time is short, we will only do the first question. 1. What do you think makes a person attractive? 2. Do you think social media causes many people to feel they have to be more attractive?
