Task three
Task three
- Skim texts 3, 5, 6, 7, 12, 14, 17, 18 and 19 in the Text Bank and choose one you find interesting. Read the chosen text in greater detail until you are thoroughly familiar with its meaning and think you know what the author intended to convey to his/her readers.
- Reread section 8.2.5 on bottom-up and top-down approaches and revise the notes on different reading phases, especially 8.3 and 8.4.
- Prepare detailed lesson
plans with supporting exercises for a series of three classes based
around your chosen text. The focus of these lessons should be the content
of the text, rather than the language used. You should indicate in your
plans:
- how long you plan to work on the text with your class;
- the various phases of your lessons;
- how you intend to break up the text into smaller sections.
In preparing your exercises, consider in particular:
- how you will promote global understanding of the text;
- how you will help learners tackle difficult items of vocabulary;
- what oral questions you will ask on each section of the text to focus students' attention and promote comprehension (try to include at least five different types of question - you might like to look again at section 8.4.6);
- what follow-up exercises would be appropriate (cf 8.5).
