Procedure

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

I would start off with a story I made up: when I was 20, I met someone who helped me with my future and inspired me to start a business after graduating from university. When I first met, I had not thought that he was a local businessman. What I was inspired by him was the way he approached people. I noticed that he always welcomed constructive criticism when someone made a mistake.

Pre-Reading/Listening (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

I will write some words: to get a job, start a business, meet someone, go to university, have children, move to a different town/country, start school, study history, get married, graduate from university, leave school for students to be familiar with. Then ı will explain them briefly and write their forms: verbs. Later, I will elicit them from students and do a couple drills to practice pronunciation. After each word, I will ask CCQs about them.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

First of all, I will ask a couple of general questions; such as, what is the text about? What is the man in the text interested in? Then I will get the learners to skim the text so that they can be familiar with the general idea in it and later to scan the text considering the words we worked on earlier. The students will not read it word-by-word, otherwise they will get bogged down in unnecessary detail.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

In this stage, I will ask a couple of detail questions; such as, what did he love collecting? When did he graduate from university? Where did he move to? Where did he start work on? How many user did the website have after the first year? Then I will get them to scan the text by considering those questions above.

Post-Reading/Listening (8-10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

At the end of the class, I will ask the students if they have any questions about the text. Then I will pair them for group discussion and give them text-based questions: How many different websites do you look at every week? Which ones are your favourites? Do you post photos online? If so, how many and what kind of photos? If not, why not? Do you know anyone who collects things? What do they collect and why?
