Subsidiary Aims

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will begin by asking students to talk about Part A on page 42. I will put them into pairs to discuss their answers. Finally, I will invite them to share their ideas with the whole class.

Pre-Reading/Listening (8-10 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

To pre-teach key vocabulary, I will ask my students if they know the meanings of some target words (e.g., improve, increase, cause, reduce, arthritis, cancer, and heart attack). If they do not know them, I will ask them to guess their meanings from the context and example sentences. Then, I will ask students to explain the words in English to check their understanding. After that, students will complete a gap-filling task to further check their understanding of the target vocabulary. Since the book does not provide a suitable activity for this stage, I will create one myself.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (4-5 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

We will cover Part B. I will ask students to do it individually by scanning the text quickly and then check their answers in pairs. Then, we will move on to Part C. We will listen and repeat the words.Then,I will ask students if they know the meanings of "heart attack" and "blood pressure." If they do not know them, I will explain the meanings before moving on to the next activity.Then I will ask them t make sentences with these two words.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (10-15 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

I will ask students to red the text for specific information and answer Part D individually. Then, they will compare their answers in pairs and justify their choices. Finally, we will check the answers together as a whole class.

Post-Reading/Listening (10-12 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

I will ask students, "Do you agree with the article?" and "Have you read or heard anything recently that contradicts the information in the article?" If they do not know the meaning of "contradicts," I will explain it to them. Then, I will put students into pairs and ask them to discuss the questions. While they are speaking, I will monitor and take notes of common mistakes. After the discussion, I will provide delayed correction by writing some of the corrected versions on the board and draw students attention to the correct forms.
