Description

In this lesson, the students are going to practise reading for gist and reading for specific information with a text about walking in the context of "health". The lesson starts with a short video clip where people talk about what they do to stay healty and continues with students' telling what they do for it. Teacher continues with a matching activity to teach the vocabulary in the context and in the next stage, the students read the text for gist and match the topics with the paragraphs. Then, the students read the text again for detailed information and tick the ideas that the text talks about.(If time allows, the teacher asks the students to find a suitable title for the text in the following stage.) As the post reading task, the students will choose someone and carry out a survey by asking each other some questions about doing sports and staying healthy. The students tell what they learned from their friends in the survey and the lesson ends with the feedback on the last activity.
