I will ask some students to act out what they remember from the events.

Before reading I will pre-teach the blocking vocabulary that the students might not know. I will clearly provide MPF (meaning, pronunciation and form) for each word. 1. Meaning: eliciting the meaning by asking questions and asking CCQs. 2. Pronunciation: IPA and Chorally drilling. 3. Mentioning the type of the word and drawing attention to the form. Language Analysis: bond (bɒnd) COUNTABLE NOUN When a government or company issues a bond, it borrows money from investors. The certificate which is issued to investors who lend money is also called a bond. wealth (welθ) UNCOUNTABLE NOUN Wealth is the possession of a large amount of money, property, or other valuable things. You can also refer to a particular person's money or property as their wealth. Economic reform has brought relative wealth to peasant farmers.  His own wealth grew. splendid (splendɪd) ADJECTIVE [usually ADJECTIVE noun] If you say that something is splendid, you mean that it is very good.

While reading, I will engage the students with questions that will provide gist, reading for specific details and information, analyzing, and inference. What was Bassanio’s advice to Antonio? What did Portia do when Bassanio told her that he had little money? What does that tell you about her? What’s in Antonio’s letter to Bassanio? Who’s paying Antonio’s debt? How did Shylock respond when Bassanio brought him the money? What happened at the end?

At this stage, I will engage the students in open discussions about what they have learned so far. They are also free to give their opinions about the characters, events, and what will happen next.
