Teacher hands out the Reading task. Students read the text one time for gist. Then they answer the question 'What are the king and his helpers doing?'. Afterwards, the students read the text one more time for detail and then in pairs underline the future forms. The teacher monitors the process and gives feedback at the end.

Highlighting (3-5 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language
