In this stage the teacher is going to teach the students some key vocabularies of the text using some pictures to help them learn better. The students are going to fill the gaps with the words that they've learnt. They are then going to check their answers with the class Monopolize - Etiquette - Recline
The students are going to answer the question: What kind of advice does Debrett's publish? They are given about 2 minutes to read the first paragraph and share their answer with the class.
The Students are going to read the text deeper and answer some True or False questions related to the text. They will check their answers with the whole class.
The students are going to be divided into groups of 2 or 3 and what rule of etiquette they would change if they could? Why would they do that?
