Procedure (44-58 minutes)
T writes on the board several questions to engage Ss with the context. Ss go into pairs, discuss and answer the questions to have a general understanding. After the warmer they are informed that they will write a social media post.
Ss are exposed to the text with the Ex.1 being presented first to encourage reading for gist. After reading the text for 2 minutes (time limit is essential to encourage gist), T asks which school they prefer and Ss raise hands. T nominates a few Ss and ask why. Ss proceed to scan the text for Ex.2. After Ss are done, they change their books to compare their answers with their partners for a minute and answer key is given by T.
Ss are separated into pairs and proceed to make notes to answer the questions presented in Ex.1 through Ex.3. These notes are later utilized as an outline for their productive task. T observes and helps each pair when they need and points out what is needed to be answered in their text to be written.
Ss proceed to write their social media post through Ex.4 and with the help of the outline they have written in Ex.3. T observes walking around the class and make notes of commonly occurring mistakes at this stage.
Through Ex.5 Ss check their work on their own, they they change their work with their partners to give feedback using the same metrics. Ss take notes of their peers' feedback. After this session, T proceeds to delayed correction stage in order to provide insight on commonly occurred mistakes.
