Ask: “What do you know about him?” Elicit one word only and write on the W/B next to the picture. Ask SS “What do you know about him?” Give 2 minutes. Do WC FB: elicit some things about him from SS, write them on W/B around the picture. Try to get the SS say “hanged” Do WC and FB.
Give SS vocabulary words; ‘accuse’, ‘murder’, ‘trial’, ‘verdict’, ‘prison’ and tell SS these are some other words related to crime. Give them the definitions only and instruct them to match the words with the definitions. Then give them the AK. Try to get some words from SS related to the topic of crime by eliciting; what happens to a person if he commit a crime? Police catch him. And then? Where does he go? And then? Pre-teach some words taken from the texts; accuse, murder, trial, verdict and prison. Set SS in pairs doing the matching activity for the definition of the worbs and give SS the answer key. Give WC FB to CCQfor understanding. Correct if they make any mispronunciation an/or intonation error.
Reading for gist: (2 minutes) Put SS in group of three, if possible, if not some of SS may be in group of two. Instruct them that they will look at the titles and circle (choose) the best title for the article. Give 1 minute. ICQ: “How long do you have to read?” 1 minute. Ask SS to fold the paper and read the 1st half of it for this session. Make sure that they have understood well about what to. Deliver the pages, adopted from p.67 and redesigned on a piece of paper as the paragraph at the top and two questions at the bottom. Give them enough time to check the answers in pair. Do error correction and FB if there is any. Check their answer by monitoring. Read for specific information (3 minutes) Tell SS to unfold the paper given prior to this session and do detailed reading to find answers to the two questions given at the bottom of the page. Give SS the instructions. Let them read the questions and find the answer to these two questions and take some short notes to compare in pairs. Give SS AK.
Reading for detailed understanding (15 min) Ask SS to “Read again and take some notes about the important information. Write in point form, not sentences. You can write your notes beside the article.” Point to the place on the page and give them 5 minutes. Instruct SS read and take notes individually and when they finish, next SS check together and compare notes with their partner/group. Tell students “Now you’re going to tell your new group about your article. Use your notes to help you.” Regroup SS as ABC and instruct them talking about their reading. (5 minutes). Monitor and make note of errors.
Tell SS “Work together, write a short paragraph about Ruth Ellis. You can write on the back of one of the papers. You have 5 minutes.” Do WC FB about the written paragraphs and if there was any missing information in any of them. If there is no any missing information, ask SS “What happened to Ruth Ellis?” Do a short discussion in the class to check that they understood the texts completely. Do some error correction (3-5 min) If any time left, ask SS work in pair to ask and answer “Do you feel sorry for Ruth Ellis?” “Why/why not?” Do WC FB about the question “Do you feel sorry ........?” and do the error correction.
