Warmer/Lead-in (4-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

- T greets Ss and asks how they are. - T checks if she can remember their names. - T asks the date and weather and writes it on the board. - T shows a picture coding power point on the screen. - Ss need to break the code to find out today's topic.

Pre-Reading (4-6 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

- Ss make a questionnaire about information media and compare their answers in groups. - T asks what most of the Ss use to get information and if they trust it or not.

While Reading 1 (6-8 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist reading tasks

- T posts the paragpraphs on the wall seperately and gives Ss the subheadings. (Act. 2 on page 8) - In pairs, Ss go around the class, read the paragraphs and match the paragraphes with the subheadings. - Ss compare their answers with the neighbour pairs. - They check the answers as a whole class.

While Reading 2 (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

- T gives the whole text and Ss answer the questions in new pairs. (Act. 3 on page 8) - They compare their answers with the neighbours. - T sticks the answers on the wall, they go and check it.

Vocabulary (4-6 minutes) • To provide clarification and practice of the target vocabulary

- T focuses on how to guess meaning from the context. - In pairs, Ss find the words and expressions in the article. (Act 4. on page 8) - They compare their answers with the neighbours. - They check it as a whole class. - T focuses on pronunciation through modelling and drilling.

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

- In pairs, Ss complete the questions with the words they have covered in ex. 4 (act. 5 on page 9) - They check answers with the other pairs. - 2- 3 Ss come to the board to write the answers. - T brings a plastic bag to the class and puts these questions in it. - Each group picks two cards- two different questions to answer and talk about it. - They go through the questions all together.
