The Ss will look around the classroom and will read the news headlines displayed on the walls. They will discuss these news headlines in pairs and then everyone will tell two things about any one of the news headline.

The Ss will go through the questionnaire about news and newspapers themselves and will think of the answers. They will add two more questions they will ask the partners about the news. In pair the students will ask four questions from the questionnaire including their own. The teacher will monitor and will give feedback in open class.

The teacher will write all the vocabulary words on the board and elicit their meanings.

Since it is a mixed ability class, the Ss will do this task in pairs, comprising of one weaker student and one stronger student. They will write a short news story using all the vocabulary written on the board. The teacher will circulate and will sure that weaker students also contribute their ideas. This is a fluency writing exercise, so the students will get the ideas down on the paper and will not focus too much on accuracy at this point.

The students will display their stories on the board. All the students will walk around and read the stories. They will decide which one they like the best. The teacher will give the feedback to the whole class and will do any delayed error correction.
