T shows a picture of two famous writers. Ss respond three questions. “Do you know these people? Have you heard of any of their novels? Do you know any other people like them?" (who write novels)

T uses a general slide with bold words with the TL in the marker sentences and then a slide for each student to match with their meaning to pre-teach key vocabulary important for understanding the article. (Check Ap. 1 - Language Analysis Sheet) "J.K. Rowling is the author of the Harry Potter series." "George Orwell is famous for being the author of the dystopian novel "1984."" "Ernest Hemingway, an American novelist, wrote classics such as "The Old Man and the Sea" and "A Farewell to Arms." "Many people think that both Avatar movies by James Cameron have a very simple plot" "The blurb on the back cover of "The Great Gatsby" describes it as a realistic tragedy set in the Roaring Twenties." To focus on form, T elicits the parts of speech and makes questions related to the TL: Can plot also be a verb? (yes; T explains that it means to plan secretly) If the novelist is the person, what is the product of a novelist? (a novel) Can author be a verb? (yes) Blurb sounds a bit different to how it is written. How do we spell it? (B-L-U-R-B) To focus on pronunciation, T drills the four words altogether.
