Put questions from 4a on PPT and have the students discuss them in pairs for two minutes. ST: "In pairs, try to answer the questions. You have three minutes."

In pairs, Ss will skim the texts and try to match the questions with each paragraph of the reading. Set Task: "Here is the reading. (hand out just the reading) Each part answers one of these questions. In pairs, you will match the questions with each part. Let's do the first one together. Read the first part. Which question would be the best to use? So I will put them together like this." ICQ: Are you going to work in pairs? (yes) Are you going to put the questions next to the correct part? (yes) Are you going to read quickly? (yes) Do you need to read every word? (no) You have three minutes. After, Ss check others' answers and T provides answer key (full text with titles). T hands out highlighters. Ss will scan and highlight new words in the reading. ST: "Find the new words in the text. Highlight them. (DEMO WITH 'MYTH' and show how I am looking at whole line). You have one minute." ICQs: "Are you reading the whole text? (no) Are you just looking for the words? (yes) How many minutes do you have? (one) So are you going to read quickly? (yes)" After, students work in pairs to match the words to their definitions. ST: "In pairs, write the words next to their definitions. You can use the text to help you." DEMO WITH MYTH

Ss will read the article looking for facts and myths. They will write them on the T-chart provided. ST: "Now, I want you to read again carefully. When you read, I want you to write down some facts and myths you see." (DEMO) (after reading) "Share with a partner. Write down what you don't have." (after) "What were some facts you found? Myths? (SHORT)"

Ss will discuss whether they agree or disagree with anything in the article in pairs. Depending on time, Ss will then decide in pairs on three important facts or advice about water that they want to tell people. DEMO. If there is a lot of time at the end, students will walk around and share their advice with other classmates. Brief delayed error correction (focus on recent grammar and vocabulary usage)
