Show students the cut out sentences with the bolded word. Tell students that in groups of 3, they will read the sentence and try to guess the meaning of the word from the meaning of the text around it.

Example: When speaking, she EMPHASIZED the importance of eating healthy to avoid getting cancer. Clarify the two statements: The woman is speaking. It's important to eat healthy to avoid getting cancer. Put these statements together: emphasized means she pointed out, confirmed, made a big deal of.

(No, just the word) Will you work in pairs or small groups? (Small groups) Monitor. Provide feedback in the form of an answer key.

ICQs: Are you going to give your opinion about this story? (No) Are you going to tell your partner what the story is about? (Yes) Will you use the new vocabulary words? (Yes) Does only one partner practice telling the story, or do both partners take turns? (Both) Monitor. Provide feedback/error correction if necessary.

Instruct students that they will work in pairs to discuss their ideas about this question. They will write down their answer. Provide students with whitepaper.

Then, the class will vote on their favorite/most interesting answer. ICQs: Will you work in pairs? (Yes) Will you discuss the Watergate scandal, or will you discuss other stories and films about reporters that you know? (Other stories) Will you only discuss your answers?
